SUPPORTING STATEMENT

(Form 8050)



  1. CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING COLLECTION OF INFORMATION


Use Form 8050 to request that the IRS deposit a tax refund ( including a refund of $1 million or more) directly into an account at any U.S. bank or other financial institution (such as a mutual fund, credit union, or brokerage firm) that accepts direct deposits.


2. USE OF DATA

The information requested on Form 8050 is used by the IRS to make direct deposits of taxpayers’ refunds into their account at a financial institution.


3. USE OF IMPROVED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE BURDEN


We have no plans at this time to offer electronic filing because of the low volume compared to the cost of electronic enabling.


  1. EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY DUPLICATION


We have attempted to eliminate duplication within the agency wherever possible.

5. METHODS TO MINIMIZE BURDEN ON SMALL BUSINESSES OR OTHER SMALL ENTITIES


Not applicable.


  1. CONSEQUENCES OF LESS FREQUENT COLLECTION ON FEDERAL PROGRAMS OR POLICY ACTIVITIES


Not applicable.


7. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRING DATA COLLECTION TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH GUIDELINES IN 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2)


Not applicable.


  1. CONSULTATION WITH INDIVIDUALS OUTSIDE OF THE AGENCY ON AVAILABILITY OF DATA, FREQUENCY OF COLLECTION, CLARITY OF INSTRUCTIONS AND FORMS, AND DATA ELEMENTS


Periodic meetings are held between IRS personnel and representatives of the American Bar Association, the National Society of Public Accountants, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and other professional groups to discuss tax law and tax forms. During these meetings, there is an opportunity for those attending to make comments regarding Form 8050.


In response to the Federal Register notice dated April 23, 2008 (73 FR 22007) we received no comments during the comment period regarding Form 8050.


9. EXPLANATION OF DECISION TO PROVIDE ANY PAYMENT OR GIFT TO RESPONDENTS


Not applicable.


  1. ASSURANCE OF CONFIDENTIALITY OF RESPONSES


Generally, tax returns and tax return information are confidential as required by 26 USC 6103.


11. JUSTIFICATION OF SENSITIVE QUESTIONS


Not applicable.


12. ESTIMATED BURDEN OF INFORMATION COLLECTION


The burden estimate is as follows:

Number of Time per Total

Responses Response Hours



Form 8050 210,000 1.66 348,600


Estimates of the annualized cost to respondents for the hour burdens shown are not available at this time.


13. ESTIMATED TOTAL ANNUAL COST BURDEN TO RESPONDENTS


As suggested by OMB, our Federal Register notice dated April 23, 2008 (73 FR 22007), requested public comments on estimates of cost burden that are not captured in the estimates of burden hours, i.e., estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. However, we did not receive any response from taxpayers on this subject. As a result, estimates of the cost burden are not available at this time.


14. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT


The primary cost to the government consists of the cost of printing Form 8050. We estimate that the cost of printing the form is $1,470.00.


  1. REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN


Not applicable.


  1. PLANS FOR TABULATION, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND PUBLICATION


Not applicable.


  1. REASONS WHY DISPLAYING THE OMB EXPIRATION DATE IS INAPPROPRIATE

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of information displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as their contents may become material in the administration of any internal revenue law.
