Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction
Act Notice. We ask for the information
on this form to carry out the Internal
Revenue laws of the United States. Our
legal right to ask for information is
Internal Revenue Code sections 6001
and 6011, which require you to file a
statement with us for any tax for which
you are liable. Section 6109 requires that
you provide your identifying number on
what you file. This is so we know who
you are, and can process your form and
other papers.
Generally, tax returns and return
information are confidential, as required
by section 6103. However, we may give
the information to the Department of
Justice and to other federal agencies, as
provided by law. We may give it to cities,
states, the District of Columbia, and U.S.
commonwealths or possessions to carry
out their tax laws. We may also disclose
this information to other countries under
a tax treaty, to federal and state
agencies to enforce federal nontax
criminal laws, or to federal law
enforcement and intelligence agencies to
combat terrorism.

deficiencies.
You are not required to provide the
information requested on a form that is
