1. Title: Voluntary Disclosure Practice and the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures.
OMB Number: 1545-2241.
Form Number(s): 14457, 14653, 14654 and 15023.
Abstract: The IRS offers two very different compliance paths to two very different populations of taxpayers. First, the Voluntary Disclosure Practice is a longstanding practice of IRS Criminal Investigation (CI). CI takes timely, accurate, and complete voluntary disclosures under consideration when determining whether to recommend criminal prosecution. A voluntary disclosure will not automatically guarantee immunity from prosecution; however, a voluntary disclosure may result in prosecution not being recommended. Form 14457 is used for all voluntary disclosures. Second, the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures are available to eligible taxpayers who can truthfully certify that their failure to report foreign financial assets and pay all tax due in respect of those assets resulted from non-willful conduct. Forms 14653 and 14654 relate to the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures. Form 15023 has been revised to be used as a response to compliance alerts.
Current Actions: There are changes to the paperwork burden previously approved by OMB. The agency has updated the number of respondents/responses for Forms 14457, 14653, and 14654. Form 15023 has been revised, but the changes do not affect burden and the estimated number of respondents/responses will remain the same and will be re-evaluated during the next revision cycle. The changes to the response estimates result in an overall decrease of 1,478 responses and an overall annual time burden of 61,496 hours.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 15,091.

It is used by IRS to summarize, categorize, and process the forms being filed.

Abstract: Form 8621 is filed by a U.S. shareholder who owns stock in a foreign investment company.

The IRS uses Form 8621 to determine if these shareholders have correctly reported amounts of income, made the election correctly, and have correctly computed the additional tax and interest amount. Form 8621-A is necessary for certain taxpayers/shareholders who are investors in passive foreign investment companies (PFIC's) to request late deemed sale or late deemed dividend elections (late purging elections) under Reg. 1.1298-3(e). The form provides a taxpayer/shareholder the opportunity to fulfill the requirements of the regulation in making the election by asserting the following: (i) the election is being made before an IRS agent has raised on audit the PFIC status of the foreign corporation for any taxable year of the taxpayer/shareholder; (ii) the taxpayer/shareholder is agreeing (by submitting Form 8621-A) to eliminate any prejudice to the interests of the U.S. government on account of the taxpayer/shareholder's inability to make timely purging elections; and (iii) the taxpayer/shareholder shows as a balance due on Form 8621-A an amount reflecting tax plus interest as determined under Reg. 1.1298(e)(3).
