The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is requesting comments from the public and federal agencies regarding the collection of information related to withholding tax on certain U.S. income paid to foreign individuals. This effort is part of the IRS's ongoing initiative to reduce paperwork and ease the burden on respondents. The IRS is particularly interested in suggestions for improving the usefulness, clarity, and accessibility of the information collection process. Comments should be submitted by March 22, 2021, and will help the IRS refine and potentially extend its current collection approvals.
Simple Explanation
The IRS wants to hear from people about how they collect information from foreigners who pay taxes on money they earn in the U.S., to make it easier for everyone. They hope the suggestions will make the process simple and clear.
