Burden Reduction Due to:
Changing Regulations
Short Statement:
The change in estimated aggregate compliance burden can be explained by three major sources-technical adjustments, statutory changes, and discretionary agency (IRS) actions. Technical Adjustments- The largest adjustments are from incorporation of updated tax return data, macroeconomic data, and survey data as well as refinements in the estimation methodology. Updating the FY13 macroeconomic data and incorporating new tax return data lead to the largest technical adjustments. The impact of each technical adjustment can be seen below. Change in filers Change in time Change in dollars Updated FY13 Macroeconomic Data -3,100,000 -32,000,000 -762,000,000 Updated Tax Return Data 0 -53,000,000 -1,486,000,000 Updated Survey Data 0 6,000,000 1,063,000,000 FY14 Population Estimates 1,700,000 4,000,000 908,000,000 Statutory Changes- The primary drivers of the statutory changes are the phase-out of itemized deductions (American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012), the Net Investment Income Tax (Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010), and the Additional Medicare Tax (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010). The estimated impact of these items is as follows: Expected filers Change in hours Change in dollars Phase-out of Itemized Deductions 2,300,000 <500,000 $21,000,000 Net Investment Income Tax 2,800,000 4,000,000 202,000,000 Additional Medicare Tax 3,100,000 3,000,000 129,000,000 IRS Discretionary Changes- Introduction of the Office in the Home Safe Harbor impacts approximately 600,000 filers and decreases time by 1,600,000 hours (rounded to 2,000,000 hours) and money by $7,000,000. All other IRS discretionary changes had a negligible impact on taxpayer burden. Additional modifications were made to bring burden estimates current, as no changes to the burden estimates were made for the 2012 TY.
