                                  H.R.   4921
                               Ditto Act  of 2016

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
                                on April 14, 2016


H.R. 4921 could require the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to keep all records it obtains
related to tax filers for at least three years if the agency requires tax filers to keep those
same records.

The IRS could react to this legislation in a number of different ways. For example, the
IRS might retain records for a longer period of time, or it might require less information
to be preserved by tax filers. Based on discussions with the IRS, CBO expects that under
the bill the IRS would retain at least some records for a longer period than they now
retain them, resulting in higher storage costs. CBO estimates that those costs would total
about $2 million over the 2017-2021 period; such spending would be subject to the
availability of appropriated funds.

Because enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4921 would not increase
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2027.

H.R. 4921 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded  Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Matthew Pickford. The estimate was approved
by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
