SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Interview and Intake Sheet. 

OMB Number: 1545–1964.

Abstract: The SPEC function 

developed the Form 13614 that contains

taxpayer information is obtained and 

applied during the interview process.

taxpayers assisted through the volunteer 

return preparation program has 

significantly increased, therefore the 

burden hours increased. The time 

needed by each respondent to complete 

the form decreased by two minutes. 

Type of Review: Revision to a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households, Business or other for-profit 

organizations, and not-for-profit 

institutions, and Federal Government. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

3,150,000.
