Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

    OMB Control Number: 1545-0092.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Title: U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts.
    Forms: 1041, Schedule D (Form 1041), Schedule D-1 (Form 1041), 
Schedule I (Form 1041), Schedule J (Form 1041), Schedule K-1 (Form 
1041), 1041-V.
    Abstract: IRC section 6012 requires that an annual income tax 
return be filed for estates and trusts. Data is used to determine that 
the estates, trusts, and beneficiaries file the proper returns and paid 
the correct tax. The various schedules (Schedule D, I, J, and K-I) are 
used in the collection of information under the various authorizing 
statutes seen below (Legal Statutes). The worksheets are used to figure 
various taxes and deductions. Form 1041-V allows the Internal Revenue 
Service to process the payment more accurately and efficiently. The IRS 
strongly encourages the use of Form 1041-V, but there is no penalty if 
it is not used.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 307,784,800.

    OMB Control Number: 1545-0181.

collection.
    Title: Application for Extension of Time to File a Return and/or 
Pay U.S. Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Taxes.
    Form: 4768.
    Abstract: Form 4768 is used by estates to request an extension of 
time to file an estate (and GST) tax return and/or to pay the estate 
(and GST) taxes and to explain why the extension should be granted. IRS 
uses the information to decide whether the extension should be granted.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households.

    Abstract: A nuclear utility files Form 1120-ND to report the income 
and taxes of a fund set up by the public utility to provide cash for 
the dismantling of the nuclear power plant. The IRS uses Form 1120-ND 
to determine if the fund income taxes are correctly computed and if a 
person related to the fund or the nuclear utility must pay taxes on 
self-dealing.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,259.

    OMB Control Number: 1545-1595.

    Title: Automatic Data Processing--(Rev. Proc. 98-25).
    Abstract: Rev. Proc. 98-25 specifies the basic requirements that 
the IRS considers to be essential in cases where a taxpayers's records 
are maintained within an Automatic Data Processing System (ADP). If 
machine-sensible records are lost, stolen, destroyed, or materially 
inaccurate, the Rev. Proc. requires that a taxpayer promptly notify its 
District Director and submit a plan to replace the affected records. 
The District Director will notify the taxpayer of any objection(s) to 
the taxpayer's plan. Also, the Rev. Proc. provides that a taxpayer who 
maintains machine-sensible records may request to enter into a Record 
Retention Limitation Agreement (RRLA) with its District Director.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 120,000.

    OMB Control Number: 1545-1668.

collection.
    Title: Return of U.S. Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign 
Partnerships.
    Forms: 8865, Sch K-1, Sch O, Sch P.
    Abstract: The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 significantly modified 
the information reporting requirements with respect to foreign 
partnerships. The Act made the following three changes (1) expanded 
section 6038B to require U.S. persons transferring property to foreign 
partnerships in certain transactions to report those transfers; (2) 
expanded section 6038 to require certain U.S. Partners of controlled 
foreign partnerships to report information about the partnerships; and 
(3) modified the reporting required under section 6046A with respect to

change its method of accounting for cash advances on commissions paid 
to its agents must agree to the specified terms and conditions under 
the revenue procedure. This agreement is ratified by attaching the 
required statement to the federal income tax return for the year of 
change.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
