Title: Credit for Employer Social 

Security and Medicare Taxes Paid on 

Certain Employee Tips. 

OMB Number: 1545–1414. 

Form Number: 8846. 

Abstract: Employers in food or 

beverage establishments where tipping 

is customary can claim an income tax 

credit for the amount of social security 

and Medicare taxes paid (employer’s 

share) on tips employees reported, other 

than on tips used to meet the minimum 

wage requirement. Form 8846 is used by 

employers to claim the credit and by the 

IRS to verify that the credit is computed 

correctly. 

Current Actions: Lines 7 through 11 

will be removed, since the passive 

activity limit and the carryover amounts 

will be calculated on Form 3800. This 

and other editorial changes will result 

in a total burden increase of 18,228 

hours.

currently approved collection.

for-profit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

37,200.

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

OMB Number: 1545–2208. 

Abstract: Executive Order 12862 

directs Federal agencies to provide 

service to the public that matches or 

exceeds the best service available in the 

private sector. In order to work 

continuously to ensure that our 

programs are effective and meet our 

customers’ needs, The Internal Revenue 

Service (hereafter ‘‘the Agency’’) seeks 

to obtain OMB approval of a generic 

clearance to collect qualitative feedback 

on our service delivery. By qualitative 

feedback we mean information that 

provides useful insights on perceptions 

and opinions, but are not statistical 

surveys that yield quantitative results 

that can be generalized to the 

population of study.
