We use this information to find ways to reduce burden for all taxpayers. Tax administrators and policy makers use this information to reduce and manage taxpayer burden. By taxpayer burden, we mean all of the time and money spent during the course of the year by you, your spouse, business employees, friends, or relatives to complete your 2017 individual federal income tax return.  \nPlease be assured that you will not be asked about specific income or other financial information. All information you provide will be used for research purposes only.

The IRS is surveying a small sample of taxpayers.  \nWhat if I didn’t file FATCA with my 2017 federal income tax return?  \nYour responses are very important, even if you did not file Form 8938 with your 2017 individual federal income tax return.  \nWho should complete this survey?  \nThe person in your household most involved in the completion of your 2017 individual federal income tax return should complete this survey. This is true even if you had someone else, such as a tax professional, prepare the return for you. We are interested in your experience.  \nHow long will it take?  \nWe expect that it will take about 15 minutes to complete this survey.
