Reportable Life Insurance Sale

Payments to a payment recipient in a reportable life-insurance sale.

E-file is not live yet. Your prepared return is securely sent to our team and queued. We transmit it to the IRS through IRIS once we complete IRIS Assurance Testing (ATS) and receive production access — we will not claim it is filed before then.

Original returns for tax year 2025 only. A corrected return has to name the original by the ID the IRS gave it, so corrections open once originals have been filed through us. One recipient per return.
