Abstract: The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program developed the Forms 13614-C and 13614-NR that contain a standardized list of required intake questions to guide volunteers in asking taxpayers basic questions about themselves. The forms are effective tools to ensure VITA volunteers consistently collect personal information from each taxpayer to assure the tax returns are prepared accurately and avoid erroneous returns. These forms are critical to continued improvements in the accuracy of volunteer-prepared returns for taxpayers utilizing the VITA program. Form 13614-C is used to assist VITA volunteers in preparing individual tax returns for citizens or residents of the United States. The IRS also provides multiple translations of Form 13614-C. Form 13614-NR is used to assist VITA volunteers in preparing individual tax returns for nonresident aliens.

Short Statement: There is no change to the burden previously approved by OMB. However, since there is no difference in the burden or information collected in the Spanish translation, the burden for Form 13614-C (SP) was incorporated in the information collection for Form 13614-C. The total burden decreased by 136 hours due to a calculation discrepancy.
