SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Prepaid Card Marketing 

Customer Survey, CS–10–251. 

OMB Number: 1545–2204. 

Abstract In Fiscal Year (FY) 2009, the 

IRS initiated a formal effort to 

collaborate with financial institutions 

(banks) and Volunteer Income Tax 

Assistance (VITA) sites to encourage 

taxpayers who do not request directdeposited refunds to opt for a prepaid 

card sponsored by the financial 

institutions. These taxpayers are likely 

to be unbanked and without means of 

freely cashing their refund check. The 

perceived benefits of the prepaid card 

program are (1) faster transfer of refunds 

to the taxpayer compared to the paper 

check mode, and (2) low-cost 

transactions to use the refund amount. 

To help improve participation, IRS is 

hoping to leverage the theory and 

principles of social marketing. Social 

marketing principles and practices 

apply marketing principles to social 

programs. This data will provide the IRS 

with practical information to be used to 

determine the value of offering the 

prepaid card to taxpayers in the future. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individual and 

households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

5734. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 542 hours. 

The following paragraph applies to all 

of the collections of information covered 

by this notice: 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a valid OMB control number. 

Books or records relating to a 

collection of information must be 

retained as long as their contents may 

become material in the administration 

of any internal revenue law. Generally, 

tax returns and tax return information 

are confidential, as required by 26 

U.S.C. 6103. 

Request for Comments: Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB approval. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record. Comments are invited on: 

(a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; (d) ways to

information on respondents, including
