SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: PTIN Supplemental Application 

For Foreign Persons Without a Social 

Security Number. 

OMB Number: 1545–2189. 

Form Number: 8946. 

Abstract: Form 8946 is used by 

foreign persons without a social security 

number (SSN) who want to prepare tax 

returns for compensation. Foreign 

persons who are tax return preparers 

must obtain a preparer tax identification 

number (PTIN) to prepare tax returns for 

compensation. Generally, the IRS 

requires an individual to provide an 

SSN to get a PTIN. Because foreign 

persons cannot get an SSN, they must 

file Form 8946 to establish their identity 

and status as a foreign person. 

Current Actions: There were editorial 

edits made to the internal only box of 

form 8946. However, these edits did not 

affect the burden estimates. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses and other 

for-profit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

4,466. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 5.27 

hrs. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 23,536. 

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 information shall have 

practical utility; (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 minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (e) estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. 

Approved: October 30, 2023.
