Form 9783T
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
The information derived from the Form 9783T will allow individual taxpayers to authorize a Third Party to pay their federal taxes on their behalf using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS).
Currently, Business taxpayers must complete a Form 8655, Reporting Agent Authorization, to grant a Reporting Agent
or Third Party authorization to make e-payments via EFTPS. There is no form for an individual to similarly authorize a third party to make payments for the individual via EFTPS. The Form 9783T will enable a significant number of individuals a method to exercise the option to defer that responsibility to an entity they trust.
USE OF DATA
The data will be used primarily for the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). The collected data will be submitted electronically through EFTPS. The original paper Form 9783T will be retained by the taxpayer’s authorized Third Party.
USE OF IMPROVED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE BURDEN
The 9783T form is available within the EFTPS Batch Provider software. The data fields will be completed online by the third party and the pre-populated form will be printed to obtain the taxpayer’s signature. For authentication purposes, the electronic authorization requires the taxpayer’s 5-digit self selected signature PIN, date of birth and prior year adjusted gross income. The Form 9783T is only available electronically to the tax professionals who use EFTPS.

CONSULTATION WITH INDIVIDUALS OUTSIDE OF THE AGENCY ON AVAILABILITY OF DATA, FREQUENCY OF COLLECTION, CLARITY OF INSTRUCTIONS AND FORMS, AND DATA ELEMENTS
Periodic meetings are held between IRS personnel and representatives of the American Bar Association, the National Society of Public Accountants, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and other professional groups to discuss tax law and tax forms. During these meetings, there is an opportunity for those attending to make comments regarding Form 9783T.
In response to the Federal Register notice dated
February 25, 2013, (78 FR 12829), we received no comments during the comment period regarding Form 9783T.

ASSURANCE OF CONFIDENTIALITY OF RESPONSES

JUSTIFICATION OF SENSITIVE QUESTIONS

ESTIMATED BURDEN OF INFORMATION COLLECTION
The burden estimate is as follows:
Form Number of Responses Time Per Response Total Hours
9783T 1000 10 167
Estimates of the annualized cost to respondents for the hour burdens shown are not available at this time.
ESTIMATED TOTAL ANNUAL COST BURDEN TO RESPONDENTS
As suggested by OMB, our Federal Register notice dated February 25, 2013, 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 response from taxpayers on this subject. As a result, estimates of the cost burdens are not available at this time.
ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The Form 9783T will be received electronically, therefore
no printing or storage cost will be incurred by the Federal Government.
REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN
There is no change in the burden previously approved by OMB. This submission is for renewal purposes.
PLANS FOR TABULATION, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND PUBLICATION

REASONS WHY DISPLAYING THE OMB EXPIRATION DATE IS INAPPROPRIATE
