Supporting Statement - For Form 8932

SUPPORTING STATEMENT
1. CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Form 8932, Credit for Employer Differential Wage Payments, was developed to carry out the provisions of new Code
section 45P. This new section was added by section 111 of the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of

credit is a general business credit and is required to be attached to the tax return.

2. USE OF DATA
Form 8932 will provide eligible small business employers a standardized format to claim this credit.

3. USE OF IMPROVED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE BURDEN
Upon approval, we plan to offer electronic filing on Form 1040.

4. EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY DUPLICATION
We have attempted to eliminate duplication within the agency wherever possible.

13. ESTIMATED TOTAL ANNUAL COST BURDEN TO RESPONDENTS
As suggested by OMB, our Federal Register notice dated March 19, 2009, requested public comments on estimates of
cost burden that are not captured in the estimates of burden hours, i.e., estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs
of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. However, we did not receive any
responses from taxpayers on this subject. As a result, estimates of these cost burdens are not available at this time.

14. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
After consultation with various functions within the Service, we have determined that the cost of developing,
printing, processing, distribution and overhead for the form is $5,000.

15. REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN
There were no changes made to the document that resulted in any change to the burden previously reported to OMB.
We are making this submission to renew the OMB approval.
