Form Number: Form 8995, Form 8995-A, Schedules A, B, C, and D.

Abstract: Form 8995 and Form 8995-A is used to figure and report qualified business income (QBI) deduction. These burden estimates are only for trust and estate filers. The burden estimates for other filers are covered under OMB control numbers 1545-0047 for tax-exempt filers, 1545-0074 for individual filers, and 1545-0123 for business filers.

Current Actions: There are no changes to the burden previously approved by OMB. However, the estimated number of responses was updated to eliminate duplication of the burden associated with individual filers captured under OMB control number 1545-0074. This submission is for renewal purposes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,596,107.

Books or records relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as their contents may become material in the administration of any internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.

Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
