The IRS is updating the burden to reflect updated data on Form 5500 filing counts and wage rates from the Department of Labor. The number of filings increased by 10,000 for a new total of 814,000 responses. As a result, the burden attributable to IRS requirements increased by 4,000 hours for a new total of 334,000 hours for Form 5500 and schedules. Non-labor costs increased by $11,109,000. These changes represent an adjustment in Agency Estimates. With this submission, IRS is also consolidating the burden previously accounted for under OMB Control Number 1545-0956 for the Form 5500-EZ paper filings of 250,000 responses, 7,005,000 hours and no non-labor costs. However, based on updated filing data, the number of responses for the paper 5500-EZ is being reduced by 148,000 for a new total of 102,000. This results in a corresponding decrease of 4,146,960 hours due to adjustment in agency estimates. In accordance with the methodology used for the rest of the Form 5500 series which regards recordkeeping and other non-filing costs to be customary and usual business practices, the burden per response for the paper 5500-EZ is being reduced from 28.02 hours to 5.85 hours. This results in a further decrease of 2,261,340 hours due to agency discretion. There is no change in the estimates for the Form 5500-SUP.
