In the past, VITA/TCE forms had been determined to be exempt from the PRA; further consideration has determined that some of these forms do fall under the PRA and require approval by OMB. IRS is taking steps to assure compliance by requesting a change to this ICR to incorporate additional forms under the VITA/TCE program that have been in use without an OMB number. Forms included in this request: Form 13715, Volunteer Site Information Sheet This form is completed by VITA/TCE coordinators or sponsors to list the location and operating hours of their sites. This information is used by IRS toll-free assistance line to help taxpayers locate the nearest volunteer tax preparation site, and also used to post the sites on irs.gov. Form 13206, Volunteer Assistance Summary Report Partners are required to provide information for all volunteers that worked at their site(s). This information is to assist IRS of volunteer's interest and/or participation in the IRS volunteer income tax preparation and outreach program and to identify skills.
