*Title:* Information Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs) and Issuers of Collateralized Debt Obligations.
*OMB Control Number:* 1545-1099.
*Form Number:* 8811.
*Abstract:* Current regulations require real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs) to provide Forms 1099 to true holders of interests in these investment vehicles. Because of the complex computations required at each level and the potential number of nominees, the ultimate investor may not receive a Form 1099 and other information necessary to prepare their tax return in a timely fashion. Form 8811 collects information for publishing by the IRS so that brokers can contact REMICs to request the financial information and timely issue Forms 1099 to holders.
*Current Actions:* There is no change to the previously approved information collection.
*Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection.
*Affected Public:* Businesses and other for-profit organizations.
*Estimated Number of Respondents:* 3,000.
*Estimated Time per Respondent:* 4 hrs. 23 min.
*Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:* 13,140.
Dated: January 13, 2026.
