SUPPORTING STATEMENT

(Form 1120X)




1. CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING COLLECTION OF INFORMATION


IRC section 6402 allows taxpayers who have overpaid their tax liability to file a claim for credit or refund of the overpaid amount. Form 1120X is the form designated by Regulations sections 301.6402-3(a)(3) and 1.250-1(d) as the vehicle that a domestic corporation uses to obtain its credit or refund of overpaid taxes. Underpayments of income tax are also corrected through use of Form 1120X.


2. USE OF DATA


The information contained on Form 1120X is used to help verify that the corporation has correctly computed its income tax liability.


3. USE OF IMPROVED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE BURDEN


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

4. 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.

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

INCONSISTENT WITH GUIDELINES IN 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2)


Not applicable.








8. 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 1120X.


In response to the Federal Register Notice (74 F.R. 6218), dated February 5, 2009, we received no comments during the comment period regarding Form 1120X.

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




13. ESTIMATED TOTAL ANNUAL COST BURDEN TO RESPONDENTS


As suggested by OMB, our Federal Register Notice dated February 5, 2009, 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 responses from taxpayers on this subject. As a result, estimates of these cost burdens are not available at this time.


14. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT


After consultation with various functions within the Service, we have determined that the cost of developing, printing, processing, distributing, and overhead for this form is $3,827.
