The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 4181 imposes a Federal excise tax on the sale of pistols, revolvers, other firearms, and shells and cartridges (ammunition) sold by manufacturers, producers, and importers of such articles. The IRC, at 26 U.S.C. 6001, 6011, and 6302, also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations regarding IRC-based taxes, returns and records, including the mode and time for collecting taxes due. Under this authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 53 require respondents who have firearms and/or ammunition excise tax liability to submit a quarterly tax return using form TTB F 5300.26. The information collected on this return is necessary to identify the taxpayer, the amount and type of taxes due, and the amount of payments made. TTB uses the return information to determine whether the taxpayer has paid the correct amount of tax and to take additional action, such as assessment or refund, as necessary.

There are no program changes associated with this information collection. As for adjustments, TTB is increasing the estimated number of respondents, responses, and estimated total annual burden hours associated with this collection due to an estimated increase of 25 in the number of firearms and ammunition excise taxpayers. In addition, TTB is revising the FAET return form, TTB F 5300.26, to clarify certain data fields and instructions to improve the accuracy of the information reported, which will allow TTB to more accurately verify the respondent’s tax liability. The revisions to TTB F 5300.26 include reorganizing data fields in Part II, Calculation of Taxes on Sale or Uses During this Tax Period, adding instructional language to Schedules A and B to clarify that they are used to claim adjustments for prior quarter activity, and adding a “printed” name field to the signature area of the form. TTB also has updated the form’s instructions to remove obsolete language and improve clarity. TTB also has made other format, grammatical, and typographic corrections to the form. In addition, to support future automation efforts, TTB has added a bar code to each page of the form that identifies the form number and the page number of the form.
