Inflation Reduction Act
The year-over-year change in
burden is analyzed and reported by technical adjustments,
legislative adjustments, and agency adjustments. Changes Due to
Technical Adjustment: The majority of the year-over-year change is
due to technical adjustments. The table provided below breaks down
the major changes by technical adjustment type. Changes to the
Updated FY23 Baseline estimates are primarily driven by an update
to the macroeconomic model inputs. Updated tax return data result
in a 5% increase in average time burden and a 6% increase in
out-of-pocket cost per response. Updated survey data and the
associated updated model result in a 1% decrease in average time
burden and a 4% decrease in out-of-pocket costs per response.
Taking the updated tax data and new survey model together, the
technical adjustment increases average time burden by a net 4% and
out-of-pocket costs by a net 2%. The FY24 population adjustments
transition the underlying data file from FY23 to FY24 which
includes aging the data for macroeconomic factors and adjusting
weights to account for changes in the year over year population
differences. A forecasted decrease in filers is expected to lead a
decrease in aggregate time. Forecasted changes in macroeconomic
factors are expected to lead to increases in average monetized
time, out-of-pocket costs, and monetized burden. Changes Due to
Legislative Adjustment: The Inflation Reduction Act introduced
changes leading to significant legislative year-over-year changes.
The table provided below breaks down the two major legislative
changes. Individual filers claiming the Clean Energy incentives are
expected to in aggregate incur an additional 1,000,000 burden hours
and $23,000,000 in out-of-pocket costs. This increase is primarily
attributed to new claimants who are expected to on average incur
under an hour of additional time burden and less than $20 of
additional out-of-pocket costs. Individual filers claiming Clean
Vehicle credits are expected to in aggregate incur an addition
1,000,000 burden hours and $17,000,000 in out-of-pocket costs. This
increase is also primarily attributed to new claimants who are
expected to on average incur under an hour of additional time
burden and less than $20 of additional out-of-pocket costs. There
is significant uncertainty about participation rates in these
programs. A more precise estimate will be possible when tax year
2023 returns are available. Changes Due to Agency Adjustment: The
Inflation Reduction Act introduced one major change leading to a
significant agency year-over-year change. The Inflation Reduction
Act directed the IRS to pilot a direct file option. The direct file
option is expected to decrease aggregate out-of-pocket costs by
$21,000,000 and have a negligible impact on time burden.
