SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Proceeds from Broker and Barter 

Exchange Transactions. 

OMB Number: 1545–0715. 

Form Project Number: Form 1099–B. 

Abstract: Internal Revenue Code 

section 6045 requires the filing of an 

information return by brokers to report 

the gross proceeds from transactions 

and by barter exchanges to report 

exchanges of property or services. Form 

1099–B is used to report proceeds from 

these transactions to the Internal 

Revenue Service. 

Current Actions: Updates to the 

estimated number of annual responses 

for Form 1099–B will increase the 

overall burden estimate by 

1,262,659,912 hours. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households, business, or other for-profit 

organization. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

4,364,843,800. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 30 

Min. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 2,182,421,900. 

The following paragraph applies to all 

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 if 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. 

Desired Focus of Comments: The 

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including using 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., by 

permitting electronic submissions of 

responses. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the ICR for OMB approval 

of the extension of the information 

collection; they will also become a 

matter of public record. 

Approved: September 21, 2023.
