Terms of Clearance: This request for clearance is approved for use only during tax year 1981 and for use with respect to 1981 colections in subsequent years. This approval does not apply to any other tax year form. Any request for such approval must be accompanied by an analysis showing which data elements, if any, are not entered into the IRS computer system, the necessity for requiring the reporting of these data and the consequences, if any, of not collecting the data. If the noncomputeriz data are essential to the revenue collection process, the Department is to consider requiring those data from either or both a preselected group of taxpayers with past history's of casualty or theft deductions and from those taxpayers whose current year data suggest that their return should be audited. Since this form may be used in a number of years with respect to the colection of 1981 revenue, the OMB expiration date need not be printe on the form.
