SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Passive Activity Loss Limitations.
    OMB Number: 1545-1008.
    Form Number: 8582.
    Abstract: Internal Revenue Code section 469 limits the passive 
activity losses that a taxpayer may deduct. The passive activity losses 
from passive activities, to the extent that they exceed income from 
passive activities, cannot be deducted against nonpassive income. Form 
8582 is used to figure the passive activity loss allowed and the actual 
loss to be reported on the tax returns.
    Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden 
previously approved by OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households, estates, and trusts.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 250,000.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 3 hours, 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 875,000.
    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 12, 2017.
