New Form to Request Extension
The IRS is introducing Form 15397 (OMB Control No. 1545-2313) so businesses can request an extension of time to furnish required recipient statements using a structured form instead of a letter. The notice says the form will ease the burden on taxpayers and improve IRS processing time.
Estimated Time Burden for Businesses
The IRS estimates 35,000 responses to this information collection, at 0.72 hours per response, for a total estimated annual burden of 25,200 hours on businesses or other for-profit organizations. The agency also states there is no change in burden at this time, though the number of responses increased due to updated filing estimates.
