Short Statement: Child Tax Credit Update Portal and Non-filer Sign-up Tool: As part of Public Law 117-2, American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 beginning in July and ending in December, up to half of the child tax credit will be advanced to eligible family by Treasury and the IRS. The 2021 change request was submitted to include temporary burden reflective of the addition of the Child Tax Credit Tools. The burden was increased by 37,542,000 estimated responses and 145,542,000 burden hours. There were no forms involved with these new tools. This temporary burden has been removed effective January 2022. The reconciliation of any future burden related to these tools has been incorporated under Changes Due to Legislative Adjustment, below. Changes Due to Technical Adjustment: The overall year-over-year change is mostly due to technical adjustments. The table provided in the supporting statement, breaks down the major changes by technical adjustment type. Changes to the Updated FY21 Baseline estimates are driven by an overestimate of the number of Form 1040 filings, an underestimate of the number of Form 1040X filings, and an update to the macroeconomic model inputs. The remaining technical changes are from updated data and an improving 2021 economy that is also experiencing higher inflation. Changes Due to Legislative Adjustment: There were two significant year-over-year legislative changes impacting this collection. The expansion of the “no child” Earned Income Tax Credit is estimated to increase aggregate time burden by 7,000,000 hours and aggregate out-of-pocket cost by $73,000,000. The reconciliation of the Advance Child Tax Credit payments is estimated to increase aggregate time by 5,000,000 hours and aggregate out-of-pocket costs by $92,000,000. Changes Due to Agency Adjustment: There were no significant year-over-year Agency changes impacting this collection.
