Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The fiduciary of a domestic decedent's estate, trust, or bankruptcy estate uses Form 1041 to report: The income, deductions, gains, losses, etc. of the estate or trust; The income that is either accumulated or held for future distribution or distributed currently to the beneficiaries; Any income tax liability of the estate or trust; and Employment taxes on wages paid to household employees. Form 1041-V has been created in response to an IRSAC suggestion. The Internal Revenue Service Advisory Council (IRSAC) provides an organized public forum for IRS officials and representatives of the public to discuss relevant tax administration issues. The council advises the Commissioner on issues that have a substantive effect on federal tax administration. The new payment voucher has been created to help process Form 1041 payments more accurately and efficiently. This will result in an increase in the estimated number of responses by 1,000,000 and 730,000 burden hours.
