2019 Instructions for Schedule H
Household
Employment
Taxes

Here is a list of forms that household employers need to
complete.

• Schedule H (Form 1040 or 1040-SR) for figuring your household employment
taxes.
• Form W-2 for reporting wages paid to your employees.
• Form W-3 for sending Copy A of Form(s) W-2 to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
For more information, see What Forms Must You File? in Pub. 926, Household
Employer's Tax Guide.

We have been asked:
Do I need to pay household employment taxes for 2019? If you have a household
employee, you need to withhold and pay social security and Medicare taxes if you
paid cash wages of $2,100 or more in 2019 to any one household employee. See Did
you have a household employee? and the Line A instructions for more information.
You need to pay federal unemployment tax if you paid total cash wages of $1,000 or
more in any calendar quarter of 2018 or 2019 to household employees. See the Part II.
Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax instructions for more information.
How do I file Schedule H? File Schedule H with your Form 1040, 1040-SR,
1040-NR, 1040-SS, or 1041. If you’re not filing a 2019 tax return, file Schedule H by
itself.
Do I make a separate payment? No. You pay both income and employment taxes to
the United States Treasury when you file Schedule H with your return.
When do I pay? Most filers must pay by April 15, 2020.
How many copies of Form W-3 do I send to the SSA? Send one copy of Form W-3
with Copy A of Form(s) W-2 to the SSA, and keep one copy of Form W-3 for your
records.

Bicycle commuting reimbursements. The Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act (P.L. 115-97) suspends the exclusion of qualified bicycle
commuting reimbursements from your employee's income for
tax years beginning after 2017 and before 2026.
Outsourcing payroll duties. You’re responsible to ensure that
tax returns are filed and deposits and payments are made, even
if you contract with a third party to perform these acts. You remain responsible if the third party fails to perform any required
action. Before you choose to outsource any of your payroll and
related tax duties (that is, withholding, reporting, and paying
over social security, Medicare, FUTA, and income taxes) to a
third-party payer, such as a payroll service provider or reporting agent, go to IRS.gov/OutsourcingPayrollDuties for helpful
information on this topic. For more information about the different types of third-party payer arrangements, see section 16
of Pub. 15.
Paid preparers. If you use a paid preparer, your paid preparer must sign Schedule H in Part IV unless you’re attaching
Schedule H to Form 1040, 1040-SR, 1040-NR, 1040-SS, or
1041. A paid preparer must sign Schedule H and provide the
information requested in the Paid Preparer Use Only section
only if the preparer was paid to prepare Schedule H and isn't
your employee. The preparer must give you a copy of the return in addition to the copy to be filed with the IRS.
If you’re required to file a 2019 Form W-2 for any household employee, you must also send Form W-3 with Copy A of
Form(s) W-2 to the SSA. You’re encouraged to file your
Forms W-2 and W-3 electronically. If filing electronically via
the SSA's Form W-2 Online service, the SSA generates Form
W-3 data from the electronic submission of Form(s) W-2. Go
to the SSA's Employer W-2 Filing Instructions & Information
website at SSA.gov/employer to learn about electronic filing.

Future Developments
For the latest information about developments related to Schedule H and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they
were published, go to IRS.gov/ScheduleH.

What's New
New Form 1040-SR. Form 1040-SR, U.S. Tax Return for Seniors, is new for tax year 2019. This form is essentially the
same as Form 1040 and an eligible individual who files Form
1040-SR is considered to have filed a Form 1040.
Changes to tax rates and wage threshold. The social security tax rate is 6.2% each for the employee and employer, unchanged from 2018. The social security wage base limit is
$132,900. The Medicare tax rate is 1.45% each for the employee and employer, unchanged from 2018. There is no wage base
limit for Medicare tax.
If you pay a household employee $2,100 or more in cash
wages during 2019, you must report and pay social security
and Medicare taxes on all the wages, including the first $2,100
paid to that employee. If you pay less than $2,100 to a household employee, don't pay social security or Medicare taxes on
that household employee's wages. For more information, see
Cash wages and $2,100 test, later.
For information about the rates and wage threshold that will
apply in 2020, see Pub. 926 (released in December 2019).
Qualified parking exclusion and commuter transportation
benefit. For 2019, the monthly exclusion for qualified parking
is $265 and the monthly exclusion for commuter highway vehicle transportation and transit passes is $265.
Credit reduction state. A state that hasn't repaid money it
borrowed from the federal government to pay unemployment
benefits is a “credit reduction state.” The Department of Labor
determines these states. If an employer pays wages that are
subject to the unemployment tax laws of a credit reduction
state, that employer must pay additional federal unemployment
tax.
For 2019, the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) is the only credit
reduction state. If you paid wages that were subject to the unemployment compensation laws of the USVI, your credit
against federal unemployment tax will be reduced based on the
credit reduction rate (for example, 0.027) for that credit reduction state. See Worksheet 2, later, to figure your credit reduction for 2019.

Who Needs To File Schedule H?
You must file Schedule H if you answer “Yes” to any of the
questions on lines A, B, or C of Schedule H.
Did you have a household employee? If you hired someone
to do household work and you could control what work he or
she did and how he or she did it, you had a household employee. This is true even if you gave the employee freedom of action. What matters is that you had the right to control the details of how the work was done.
Example. You paid Betty Oak to babysit your child and do
light housework 4 days a week in your home. Betty followed
your specific instructions about household and child care duties. You provided the household equipment and supplies Betty
needed to do her work. Betty is your household employee.
Household work is work done in or around your home.
Some examples of workers who do household work are:
Babysitters
Butlers
Caretakers
Cleaning people

H-2

Cooks
Drivers
Health aides
Housekeepers

Maids
Nannies
Private nurses
Yard workers

Do You Have an Employer
Identification Number (EIN)?

If a worker is your employee, it doesn't matter whether the
work is full or part time or that you hired the worker through
an agency or from a list provided by an agency or association.
Also, it doesn't matter if the wages paid are for work done
hourly, daily, weekly, or by the job.
If you’re a home care service recipient receiving home care
services through a program administered by a federal, state, or
local government agency, and the person who provides your
care is your household employee, you can ask the IRS to authorize an agent under section 3504 to report, file, and pay all
federal employment taxes, including FUTA taxes, on your behalf. See Form 2678, Employer/Payer Appointment of Agent,
for more information.

If you have household employees, you will need an EIN to file
Schedule H. If you don't have an EIN, you may apply for one
online by going to IRS.gov/EIN. You may also apply for an
EIN by faxing or mailing Form SS-4 to the IRS. Don't use a social security number (SSN) in place of an EIN. The Instructions for Form SS-4 explain how you can get an EIN immediately over the Internet, generally within 4 business days by fax,
or in about 4 weeks if you apply by mail. Go to IRS.gov/Forms
to get forms and publications, including Form SS-4.

Can Your Employee Legally Work in
the United States?

If a government agency or third-party agent reports
TIP and pays the employment taxes on wages paid to your
household employee on your behalf, you don't need to
file Schedule H to report those taxes.

It is unlawful to employ a person who can't legally work in the
United States. When you hire a household employee to work
for you on a regular basis, you and the employee must each
complete part of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. You
must verify that the employee is either a U.S. citizen or a person who can legally work in the United States and you must
keep Form I-9 for your records. You can get the form and the
USCIS Handbook for Employers by going to the USCIS website at USCIS.gov/I-9-Central. You may use E-Verify at everify.gov to confirm the employment eligibility of newly hired
employees.

Workers who aren't your employees. Workers you get from
an agency aren't your employees if the agency is responsible
for who does the work and how it is done. Self-employed
workers are also not your employees. A worker is self-employed if only he or she can control how the work is done. A
self-employed worker usually provides his or her own tools
and offers services to the general public in an independent
business.
Example. You made an agreement with Paul Brown to care
for your lawn. Paul runs a lawn care business and offers his
services to the general public. He hires his own helpers, instructs them how to do their jobs, and provides his own tools
and supplies. Neither Paul nor his helpers are your employees.
For more information, see Pub. 926.

What About State Employment
Taxes?
If you employed a household employee in 2019, you probably
have to pay contributions to your state unemployment fund for
2019. To find out if you do, contact your state unemployment
tax agency. For a list of state unemployment tax agencies, go to
the U.S. Department of Labor's website at oui.doleta.gov/
unemploy/agencies.asp. You should also find out if you need to
pay or collect other state employment taxes or carry workers'
compensation insurance.

Who Needs To File Form W-2 and
Form W-3?
You must file Form W-2 for each household employee to
whom you paid $2,100 or more of cash wages in 2019 that are
subject to social security and Medicare taxes. To find out if the
wages are subject to these taxes, see the instructions for Schedule H, lines 1, 3, and 5, later. Even if the wages aren't subject to
these taxes, if you withheld federal income tax from the wages
of any household employee, you must file Form W-2 for that
employee. However, when not subject to social security and
Medicare taxes, leave boxes 3, 4, 5, and 6 blank on Form W-2;
only complete boxes 1 and 2. If the wages are below $2,100 for
2019 and you complete boxes 3, 4, 5, and 6 on Form W-2, the
SSA will reject your Form W-2.

When and Where To File
Schedule H
If you file Form 1040, 1040-SR, 1040-NR, 1040-SS, or 1041
for 2019, remember to attach Schedule H to it. Mail your return, by April 15, 2020, to the address shown in your tax return
instructions.
Exceptions. If you get an extension of time to file your return,
file your return with Schedule H by the extended due date. If
you’re a fiscal year filer, file your return and Schedule H by the
due date of your fiscal year return, including extensions.

If you file one or more Forms W-2, you must also file Form
W-3. If filing electronically via the SSA's Form W-2 Online
service, the SSA generates Form W-3 automatically based on
your Form(s) W-2. For more information on electronic filing,
go to the SSA's Employer W-2 Filing Instructions & Information website at SSA.gov/employer.

If you’re a calendar year taxpayer and have no house-

TIP hold employees for 2019, you don't have to file Schedule H for 2019.
If you have household employees for 2019 but you’re not
required to file a 2019 tax return (for example, because your in-

H-3

come is below the amount that requires you to file), you must
file Schedule H by itself by April 15, 2020. Complete Schedule H and put it in an envelope with your check or money order. Don't send cash. See the list of filing addresses later in
these instructions. Mail your completed Schedule H and payment to the address listed for the place where you live. Make
your check or money order payable to “United States Treasury” for the total household employment taxes due. Enter your
name, address, SSN, daytime phone number, and “2019 Schedule H” on your check or money order. Household employers
that are tax exempt and don't have to file a tax return (for example, churches that pay a household worker to take care of a
minister's home) may also file Schedule H by itself.

Form W-2 and Form W-3
You're encouraged to file your Forms W-2 and W-3 electronically. Go to the SSA's Employer W-2 Filing Instructions & Information website at SSA.gov/employer to learn about electronic filing. If filing electronically via the SSA's Form W-2 Online
service, the SSA generates Form W-3 automatically based on
your Form(s) W-2.
By January 31, 2020, send Copy A of all Forms W-2 with
Form W-3 to the SSA and give Copies B, C, and 2 of Form
W-2 to each employee. For paper forms, you will meet this requirement if the form is properly addressed, mailed, and postmarked no later than January 31, 2020.

If you were notified that your household employee received payments from a state disability plan, see State
Disability Payments, later.

If you file Forms W-2 and W-3 electronically, don't
mail the paper Forms W-2 and W-3 to the SSA.

CAUTION

Exception for parents. Include the cash wages you paid
your parent for work in or around your home if both (1) and (2)

Noncash wages paid to household employees aren't subject
to social security taxes or Medicare taxes; however, they are
subject to federal income tax unless a specific exclusion applies. Report the value of taxable noncash wages in box 1 of

Penalties. You may have to pay a penalty if you don't give
Forms W-2 to your employees or file Copy A of the forms with

Line 9. Review the cash wages you paid to all your household
employees for each calendar quarter of 2018 and 2019. Is the
total for any quarter in 2018 or 2019 $1,000 or more?
Yes. Complete Schedule H, Part II.
No. Follow the instructions in the chart below.

Part I. Social Security, Medicare, and
Federal Income Taxes
Social security and Medicare taxes fund retirement, survivor,
disability, and health benefits for workers and their families.
You and your employees generally pay these taxes in equal
amounts.
You’re not required to withhold federal income tax from
wages you pay a household employee. You should withhold
federal income tax only if your household employee asks you
to withhold it and you agree. The employee must give you a
completed Form W-4.
For 2019, the social security tax rate is 6.2% each for you
and your employee. The Medicare tax rate is 1.45% each. The
limit on wages subject to social security tax is $132,900. There
is no limit on wages subject to the Medicare tax. If you didn't
deduct the employee's share from his or her wages, you must
pay the employee's share of tax and your share of tax, a total of
12.4% for social security and 2.9% for Medicare tax. See Form
W-2 and Form W-3, later, for more information.
In addition to withholding Medicare tax at 1.45%, you must
withhold a 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax from wages you pay
to an employee in excess of $200,000 in a calendar year.
You’re required to begin withholding Additional Medicare Tax
in the pay period in which you pay wages in excess of
$200,000 to an employee and continue to withhold it each pay
period until the end of the calendar year. Additional Medicare
Tax is only imposed on the employee. There is no employer
share of Additional Medicare Tax. All wages that are subject to
Medicare tax are subject to Additional Medicare Tax withholding if paid in excess of the $200,000 withholding threshold.

If you don't file any of the above forms, complete Schedule H,
Part IV, and follow the instructions under When and Where To
File, earlier.

Part II. Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax
FUTA tax, with state unemployment systems, provides for payments of unemployment compensation to workers who have
lost their jobs. Most employers pay both a federal and state unemployment tax.

For more information on Additional Medicare Tax, go to
IRS.gov/ADMT.

The FUTA tax rate is 6.0% (0.060). But see Credit for contributions paid to state next. Don't collect or deduct the FUTA
tax from your employee's wages. You must pay it from your
own funds.
Credit for contributions paid to state. You may be able to
take a credit of up to 5.4% (0.054) against the FUTA tax,

$2,100 test. If you pay a household employee $2,100 or
more in cash wages during 2019, you must report and pay social security and Medicare taxes on all the wages, including the
first $2,100 paid to that employee. The test applies to cash wages paid in 2019 regardless of when the wages were earned.

H-5

resulting in a net FUTA tax rate of 0.6% (0.006). But to do so,
you must pay all the required contributions for 2019 to your
state unemployment fund by April 15, 2020. Fiscal year filers
must pay all required contributions for 2019 by the due date of
their federal income tax returns (not including extensions).
State unemployment taxes are sometimes called “contributions." Contributions are payments that a state requires you, as
an employer, to make to its unemployment fund for the payment of unemployment benefits. However, contributions don't
include:
• Any payments deducted or deductible from your employees' pay;
• Penalties, interest, or special administrative taxes; or
• Voluntary contributions you paid to get a lower state experience rate.
If you paid contributions to any credit reduction state, see
the instructions for line 23, later.
Lines 10 through 12. Answer the questions on lines 10
through 12 to see if you should complete Section A or Section B of Part II.

allowable if the contributions were paid on or before April 15,
2020.
Line 17. Complete all columns that apply. If you don't, you
won't get a credit. If you need more space, attach a statement
using the same format as line 17. Your state will provide the
experience rate. If you don't know your rate, contact your state
unemployment tax agency.
You must complete columns (a), (b), and (h), even if you
weren't given an experience rate. If you were given an experience rate of 5.4% or higher, you must also complete columns
(c) and (d). If you were given a rate of less than 5.4%, you
must complete all columns.
If you were given a rate for only part of the year, or the rate
changed during the year, you must complete a separate line for
each rate period.
Column (b). Enter the taxable wages on which you must
pay taxes to the unemployment fund of the state shown in column (a). If your experience rate is zero percent, enter the
amount of wages you would have had to pay taxes on if that
rate hadn't been granted.

Fiscal year filers. If you paid all state unemployment contributions for 2019 by the due date of your return (not including extensions), check the “Yes” box on line 11. Check the
“No” box if you didn't pay all of your state contributions by the
due date of your return.

Column (h). Enter the total contributions (defined earlier)
you paid to the state unemployment fund for 2019 by April 15,
2020. Fiscal year filers, enter the total contributions you paid to
the state unemployment fund for 2019 by the due date of your

H-8

Paid Preparers

Estimated tax payments must be made as the tax liability is incurred by April 15, 2019; June 17, 2019;
CAUTION September 16, 2019; and January 15, 2020. If you file
your Form 1040 or 1040-SR by January 31, 2020, and pay the
rest of the tax that you owe with the form, you don't need to
make the payment due on January 15, 2020.

Paid Preparer Use Only. You must complete this part if you
were paid to prepare Schedule H, and aren't an employee of the
filing entity, and aren't attaching Schedule H to Form 1040,
1040-SR, 1040-NR, 1040-SS, or 1041. You must sign in the
space provided and give the filer a copy of Schedule H in addition to the copy to be filed with the IRS.

Exception. You won't be penalized for failure to make estimated tax payments if both (1) and (2) below apply for the year.
1. You won't have federal income tax withheld from wages, pensions, or any other payments you receive.
2. Your income taxes, excluding your household employment taxes, wouldn't be enough to require payment of estimated taxes.

Form W-2 and Form W-3
If you file one or more Forms W-2, you must also file Form
W-3. We encourage you to file electronically. If filing electronically via the SSA's Form W-2 Online service, the SSA will
generate Form W-3 data from the electronic submission.
You must report both cash and noncash wages in box 1, as
well as tips and other compensation. The completed Forms
W-2 and W-3 in the example (later in these instructions) show
how the entries are made. For detailed information on preparing these forms, see the General Instructions for Forms W-2
and W-3.
Employee's portion of taxes paid by employer. If you paid
all of your employee's share of social security and Medicare
taxes, without deducting the amounts from the employee's pay,
the employee's wages are increased by the amount of that tax
for income tax withholding purposes. However, the tax you
paid isn't counted as social security and Medicare wages and
isn't included in boxes 3 and 5 of Form W-2. Also, don't count
the tax as wages for FUTA tax purposes. Follow steps 1
through 3 below. (See the example later in these instructions.)
1. Enter the amounts you paid on your employee's behalf
in boxes 4 and 6 (don't include your share of these taxes).
2. Add the amounts in boxes 3, 4, and 6. (However, if
box 5 is greater than box 3, then add the amounts in boxes 4, 5,
and 6.)
3. Include the total in box 1. Also include in box 1 any taxable noncash wages which aren't reported in boxes 3 and 5.

What Records To Keep
You must keep copies of Schedule H and related Forms W-2,
W-3, and W-4 for at least 4 years after the due date for filing
Schedule H or the date the taxes were paid, whichever is later.
You must also keep records to support the information you enter on the forms you file. If you must file Form W-2, you will
need to keep a record of each employee's name, address, and
SSN. Each payday, you should record and keep the dates and
amounts of:
• Cash and noncash wage payments,
• Any employee social security tax you withhold or agree
to pay for your employee,
• Any employee Medicare tax you withhold or agree to pay
for your employee,
• Any federal income tax you withhold, and
• Any state employment taxes you withhold.

What Is the Earned Income Credit
(EIC)?

The EIC is a refundable tax credit for certain workers.
Which employees must I notify about the EIC? You must
notify your household employee about the EIC if you agreed to
withhold federal income tax from the employee's wages but
didn't do so because the income tax withholding tables showed
that no tax should be withheld.

On Form W-3, put an “X” in the “Hshld. emp.” box

TIP located in box b, Kind of Payer.
For information on filing Forms W-2 and W-3 electronically, go to the SSA's Employer W-2 Filing Instructions & Information website at SSA.gov/employer.

You’re encouraged to notify each employee whose

TIP wages for 2019 were less than $50,162 ($55,952 if
married filing jointly) that he or she may be eligible
for the EIC for 2019.

You Should Also Know

How and when must I notify my employees? You must give
the employee one of the following items.
• The official IRS Form W-2, which has the required information about the EIC on the back of Copy B.
• A substitute Form W-2 with the same EIC information on
the back of the employee's copy that is on Copy B of the official IRS Form W-2.
• Notice 797, Possible Federal Tax Refund Due to the
Earned Income Credit (EIC).
• Your written statement with the same wording as Notice
797.
If you’re not required to give the employee a Form W-2,
you must provide the notification by February 7, 2020.

Estimated Tax Penalty
You may need to increase the federal income tax withheld from
your pay, pension, annuity, etc., or make estimated tax payments to avoid an estimated tax penalty based on your household employment taxes shown on Schedule H, line 26. You
may increase your federal income tax withheld by giving your
employer a new Form W-4, or by giving the payer of your pension a new Form W-4P. Make estimated tax payments by filing
Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals. For more information, see Pub. 505.

H-9

If the notification isn't given on Form W-2 in a timely manner, you must hand the notice directly to the employee or send
it by First-Class Mail to the employee's last known address.
How do my employees claim the EIC? Eligible employees
claim the EIC on their 2019 tax returns.

Rules for Business Employers
Don't use Schedule H if you chose to report employment taxes
for your household employees along with your other employees on Form 941, Employer's QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return; Form 943, Employer's Annual Federal Tax Return for
Agricultural Employees; or Form 944, Employer's ANNUAL
Federal Tax Return. If you report this way, be sure to include
your household employees' wages on your Form 940, Employer's Annual Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax Return.

State Disability Payments
Certain state disability plan payments to household employees
are treated as wages subject to social security and Medicare
taxes. If your employee received payments from a plan that
withheld the employee's share of social security and Medicare
taxes, include the payments on lines 1, 3, and, if applicable, 5
of Schedule H and complete the rest of Part I through line 7.
Add lines 2, 4, 6, and 7. From that total, subtract the amount of
these taxes withheld by the state. Enter the result on line 8. Also, enter “disability” and the amount subtracted on the dotted
line next to line 8. See the notice issued by the state for more
details.

Completed Examples of
Schedule H, Form W-2, and Form
W-3
On February 11, 2019, Susan Green hired Helen Maple to
clean her house every Wednesday. Susan didn't have a household employee in 2018 and had no household employees other
than Helen during 2019.
Susan paid Helen $50 every Wednesday for her day's work.
Susan decided not to withhold Helen's share of the social security and Medicare taxes from the wages she paid Helen. Instead, she will pay Helen's share of these taxes from her own
funds. Susan didn't withhold federal income tax because Helen
didn't give her a Form W-4 to request withholding and no withholding is otherwise required.
Helen was employed by Susan for the rest of the year (a total of 46 weeks). The following is some of the information Susan will need to complete Schedule H, Form W-2, and Form
W-3.

How To Correct Schedule H

Medicare tax . . . . . . . . .

If you discover an error on a Schedule H that you previously
filed with Form 1040, Form 1040-SR, Form 1040-NR, or Form
1040-SS, file Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income
Tax Return, and attach a corrected Schedule H. If you discover
an error on a Schedule H that you previously filed with Form
1041, file an “Amended” Form 1041 and attach a corrected
Schedule H.
If you discover an error on a Schedule H that you filed as a
stand-alone return, file another stand-alone Schedule H with
the corrected information. In the top margin of your corrected
Schedule H write (in bold letters) “CORRECTED” followed
by the date you discovered the error.
If you owe tax, pay in full with your Form 1040-X, Form
1041, or stand-alone Schedule H. If you overpaid tax on a previously filed Schedule H, then depending on whether you adjust or claim a refund, you must certify that you repaid or reimbursed the employee's share of social security and Medicare
taxes, or that you have obtained consents from your employees
to file a claim for refund for the employee tax. See Pub. 926 for
complete instructions.

above), she isn't liable for FUTA tax.

withholding. This form is used to determine the amount of the taxes that you owe. Section 6011 requires you to provide the requested information if the tax is applicable to you. Section 6109 requires you to provide your identification number.
Generally, tax returns and return information are confidential, as required by section 6103. However, section 6103 allows or
requires the IRS to disclose or give the information shown on your tax return to others as described in the Code. For example, we
may disclose your tax information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities, states, the District of
Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and possessions to administer their tax laws. We may also disclose this information to other
countries under a tax treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce federal nontax criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and
intelligence agencies to combat terrorism.
The time needed to complete and file this form will vary depending on individual circumstances. The estimated burden for individual taxpayers filing this form is approved under OMB control number 1545-0074 and is included in the estimates shown in the
instructions for their individual income tax return.
The estimated burden for all other taxpayers who file this form is: Recordkeeping, 1 hr., 38 min.; Learning about the law or
