Changes Due to Technical Adjustments to Agency Estimates: P.L. 116-136 (H.R. 748, Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act) - signed by the President on March 27, 2020, established a 2020 recovery rebate for individuals (the Economic Impact Payment (EIP). As a result, IRS issued EIPs to help Americans during this crisis. The issuance of these EIPs created a one-time burden increase during the 2020 calendar year to account for the temporary tax compliance requirements. With the completed issuance of all EIPs, this burden is being removed. Program Changes Due to New Statutes: There were no significant year-over-year legislative changes impacting this collection. Program Changes Due to Agency Discretion: The only material administrative change is the roll out of Form 1040-X e-filing. Approximately 1.5 million filers are expected to e-file a Form 1040-X in FY21. Form 1040-X e-filing is estimated to decrease time burden by approximately 150,000 hours and decrease out-of-pocket costs by approximately $4,000,000.
