Highlights of the new design: o Simplified the application process to significantly reduce taxpayer burden. o Form 23 is reduced 75%, from four pages to one page. o Form 8554 is reduced 50%, from two pages to one page. o Placed the instructions on the back-side of the forms for easy retrieval. o Eliminated the requirement to attach copy of a letter showing proof of passing the Special Enrollment Examination. o Better format for answering questions. o Each form has “Important Things” reminder listed at the top. o Divided the forms into parts to make them easier to complete. o Translated the form and instructions into plain language to make them easier to read, understand and complete. o Consistent wording and consistent questions on both forms. o Simplified the amount of information we collect; only asking for information we need to process the forms. o On-line applications will match the paper form. Created new Form 8554-EP to manage applications relating to Enrolled Retirement Plan Agents (ERPA's).
