Abstract:
The collection covers the information reporting requirements for certain life insurance contracts under IRC 6050Y, which was added by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Form 1099-LS is used by the acquirer of any interest in a life insurance contract (also known as a life insurance policy) in a reportable policy sale to report the acquisition. Form 1099-SB is used by the issuer of a life insurance contract (also known as a life insurance policy) to report the seller’s investment in the contract and surrender amount with respect to an interest in a life insurance contract transferred in a “reportable policy sale” or transferred to a foreign person.
