Short Statement: The Form 1099-B has been revised to reflect new textboxes to indicate if the account is a non-U.S. account and descriptions of the type of account. This increased burden associated with the new requirement of 5,880,594. Form 1099-B has an increase in burden due to an increase in the number of filers. The filers increased from 117,611,875 to 1,434,809,803 an increase in filers of 1,317,197,928, resulting in associated burden hour increase of 619,083,026. The total burden hour increase from 49,396,988 plus the burden associated with compliance to the FATCA requirements 5,880,594 plus the burden associated with the additional filers of 619,083,026 amount to a total burden hours requested of 674,360,614. The excerpt from Publication 6961 attributes a substantial increase in 1099 filings due to the increase in 1099-B filings. Excerpt as follows; IRS Office of Research staff within the Research, Applied Analytics and Statistics organization provide calendar year projections of information and withholding documents (IRP) on an annual basis to accommodate more recent filing experiences. These information documents also incorporate current legislative and administrative initiatives, as well as relevant economic and demographic trends. Forecasts of economic/demographic data used to develop some of these projections are provided by IHS Global Inc. The research to compose Publication 6961 shows a major portion of the net revision is driven by the increase in the projections of Form 1099-B (i.e., 845.1 million more) and Form 1099-DIV (i.e., 3.4 million more). These upward revisions are in response to the actual CY 2015 and year to date (mid-July) CY 2016 filing experiences.
