SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS is currently seeking comments 
concerning the following information collection tools, reporting, and 
record-keeping requirements:
    Title: At-Risk Limitations.
    OMB Number: 1545-0712.
    Form Number: Form 6198.
    Abstract: Internal Revenue Code section 465 requires taxpayers to 
limit their at-risk loss to the lesser of the loss or their amount at 
risk. Form 6198 is used by taxpayers to determine their deductible loss 
and by the IRS to verify the amount deducted.
    Current Actions: There is no change to the existing collection. 
However, the estimated number of responses was updated to eliminate 
duplication of the burden associated with individual respondents 
captured under OMB control number 1545-0074 and business respondents 
captured under OMB control number 1545-0123.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Estates, trusts, and not-for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 26,451.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 3 hours, 58 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 105,010.
    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: April 4, 2022.

Tax Analyst.
