The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26
U.S.C. 6161 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury (the
Secretary) to grant taxpayers up to 6 months of additional time to
pay taxes due on any return required under the IRC. In addition,
the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 6159 authorizes the Secretary to enter into a
written agreement with a taxpayer to allow installment payments of
taxes due if the Secretary determines such an agreement will
facilitate full or partial payment. Under those IRC authorities,
TTB has issued two taxpayer relief application forms, TTB F 5600.38
for time extension requests, and TTB F 5600.31 for installment
payment agreement requests. Using the relevant form and any
required supporting documentation, an excise taxpayer regulated by
TTB identifies themselves, the specific excise tax and amount in
question, their current financial situation, and the reasons why
the requested taxpayer relief is necessary. TTB evaluates the
provided information, records its decision to approve or disapprove
the requested taxpayer relief on the submitted form, and notifies
the applicant of its decision by returning a copy of the
form.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
