The Internal Revenue Service offers
free assistance with tax return preparation and tax counseling
using specially trained volunteers. The Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs
assist seniors and individuals with low to moderate incomes, those
with disabilities, and those for whom English is a second
language.
This revision adds Forms 8653,
8654, and 14024 to this ICR. These forms are used to manage and
evaluate ongoing activities within the VITA and TCE programs. As
with the Form 14310, these additional forms were originally thought
to be exempt from the PRA, but recently ruled that these forms
require OMB approval. At this time the IRS is requesting approval
of these forms that were previously in use without an OMB number.
The use of these forms throughout the program cycle will result in
a total estimated burden increase of 130 responses and 30 hours;
with a total of 97 burden hours requested.
