§ 601.201(a)(1)) provides that it is the 

practice of the Internal Revenue Service 

(IRS) to answer inquiries of individuals 

and organizations, whenever 

appropriate in the interest of sound tax 

administration, as to their status for tax 

purposes and as to the tax effects of 

their acts or transactions. Under this 

revenue procedure 2024–4 (and 

successor guidance), taxpayers can 

request determination letters and letter 

rulings from the Commissioner, Tax

them. Employee Plans requires 

information from taxpayers in order to

The following paragraph applies to all 

the collections of information covered 

by this notice:

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

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: January 31, 2024.
