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 in burden is due to technical adjustments. The table provided below breaks down the major changes by technical adjustment type. Updates to FY2025 estimates resulted in an 8.4% increase in total monetized burden. This net increase is primarily driven by a revision to the monetization rate and an increase in the aggregate filer count, the composition of the underlying tax return data, and revised legislative estimates based on filing data. The Fiscal Year 2026 population adjustments transition the underlying data file from Fiscal Year 2025 to Fiscal Year 2026 which includes aging the data for macroeconomic factors and adjusting weights to account for changes in the year-over-year population differences. These changes resulted in a net increase to total monetized burden of 1.9%. This includes a decrease of 0.5% in the filer population, a decrease of 0.4% in time burden, and 1.9% increase out-of-pocket costs. Altogether, these technical adjustments increased total monetized burden by 10.3%. This includes a 1.4% decrease in time burden and a 10.4% increase in out-of-pocket costs.
Changes Due to Legislative Adjustment: There are two legislative adjustments that may have a material effect on burden relative to a current policy baseline. These include new 1099-DA reporting requirements and changes associated with Pub. L. 119-21 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act). Trusts and Estates receiving Form 1099-DA is expected to increase total monetized burden by 1.4%. This includes a 1.2% increase in time burden and a 1.4% increase out-of-pocket costs. The overall impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a small decrease in total monetized burden of 0.9%. This includes a decrease in time burden of 0.2% and a decrease in out-of-pocket costs of 1.0% and is driven by burden associated with Sections 70433 (Increase in Threshold for Requiring Information Reporting with Respect to Certain Payees), 70502 (Termination of Clean Vehicle Credit), and 70503 (Termination of Qualified Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit). Altogether, adjustments due to legislative changes are expected to increase total monetized burden by 0.5%. This includes a 1.1% increase in time burden and a 0.4% increase in out-of-pocket costs.
Changes Due to Agency Adjustment: There were no independent and significant year-over-year Agency changes impacting the burden calculations for this collection.
