Short Statement: Sch H (Form 1040) is used by both individual taxpayers as computed under OMB approval number 1545-0074 and business filers as reported under this ICR. Changes were made to the form as a result of new statute, pen and ink changes to the form, and corrections to previous estimates. Under the Author D Little methodology we believe an estimated 15 % of filers would be listed as a business filer. These figures represent that 15 % of the estimated burden as computed under the ADL methodology. All other burden for individual taxpayers is being reported under 1545-0074 approval number.
