Miscellaneous Actions
Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion:
Yes
Burden Reduction Due to:
Changing Forms
Short Statement:
The major drivers of burden change due to new legislation are the Alternative Minimum Tax patch, elimination of the additional filing volume attributable to the Telephone Excise Tax Refund, the presence of additional filing volume attributable to the Economic Stimulus Package, and expiration of the Katrina-relief provisions. The major drivers of burden change due to IRS action result from changes in recordkeeping requirements for cash charitable contributions and the introduction of Form 8917 for Tuition and Fees Deduction. The major drivers of the burden change due to the adjustment are population growth, macroeconomic growth, inflation, a technical change in calibrating the relative shares of taxpayers by preparation method, a technical change in the growth factors for out-of-pocket costs for software and paid professional fees, and updating the tax return microdata file used by the model.
