General Instructions
Purpose of Form
File Form 1066 to report the income, deductions, and
gains and losses from the operation of a REMIC. In
addition, the form is filed by the REMIC to report and pay
the taxes on net income from prohibited transactions, net
income from foreclosure property, and contributions after
the startup day.
Total assets at end of the tax year. If there are no
assets at the end of the year enter -0-.
Reminders
Bipartisan Budget Act. The Bipartisan Budget Act of
2015 (BBA) created a new centralized partnership audit
regime that applies to a REMIC for tax years beginning
after 2017. Under the centralized partnership audit
regime, any adjustments to the partnership-related items
of a REMIC are determined at the REMIC level.
Who Must File
An entity must file Form 1066 if it elected to be treated as
a REMIC for its first tax year (and the election is still in
effect) and it meets the section 860D(a) requirements
listed below.
Partnership representative (PR). Under the centralized
partnership audit regime, a REMIC is required to
designate a PR if it had more than one residual interest
holder at any time during the tax year and it didn't elect out
of the centralized partnership audit regime. The PR will
have the sole authority to act on behalf of the REMIC
under the centralized partnership audit regime. The
person designated by the REMIC as the PR must have a
substantial presence in the United States. For more
information, see Designation of Partnership
A REMIC is any entity that:

Termination of Election
Ogden, UT 84409
If the entity ceased to qualify as a REMIC under the
requirements of section 860D(a) in 2023, the election to
be a REMIC is terminated for 2023 and all future years.
For 2023 and all future years, you must file the tax form for
similarly organized entities (corporations, partnerships,
trusts, etc.).
Accounting Method
A REMIC must compute its taxable income (or net loss)
using the accrual method of accounting. See section
860C(b). For more information about the accrual method
of accounting, see Pub. 538.
When To File
Rounding Off to Whole Dollars
Generally, REMICs must file the 2023 Form 1066 by
March 15, 2024. However, if the entity will file its final
return in 2023, Form 1066 is due by the 15th day of the
3rd month following the date the REMIC ceased to exist.
The REMIC may round off cents to whole dollars on its
returns and schedules. If the REMIC does round to whole
dollars, it must round all amounts. To round, drop amounts
under 50 cents and increase amounts from 50 to 99 cents
to the next dollar (for example, $1.39 becomes $1 and
$2.50 becomes $3).
If you need more time to file Form 1066, file Form 7004,
Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File
Certain Business Income Tax, Information, and Other
Returns, to request an automatic extension. You must file
Form 7004 by the regular due date of Form 1066.
If two or more amounts must be added to figure the
amount on a line, include cents when adding the amounts
and round off only the total.

Be Required
Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S.
Information Returns. Use this form to summarize and
send information returns to the IRS.
Form 1098, Mortgage Interest Statement. This form is
used to report the receipt from any individual of $600 or
more of mortgage interest and points in the course of the
REMIC's trade or business.
Forms 1099-A, B, C, INT, LTC, MISC, NEC, OID, R, S,
and SA. Use these information returns to report
acquisitions or abandonments of secured property;
proceeds from broker and barter exchange transactions;
cancellation of debt; interest income; certain payments
made under a long-term care insurance contract and
certain accelerated death benefits; miscellaneous
information; nonemployee compensation; original issue
discount; distributions from pensions, annuities,
Payment of Tax Due
The REMIC must pay the tax due (page 1, Section II,
line 3) in full by the 15th day of the 3rd month following the
end of the tax year.
Electronic deposit requirement. REMICs must use
electronic funds transfer (EFT) to make all federal tax
deposits (such as deposits of employment tax, excise tax,
and income tax). Generally, an EFT is made using the
Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). If you
don't want to use EFTPS, you can arrange for your tax
professional, financial institution, payroll service, or other
trusted third party to make electronic deposits on your
behalf.
To get more information about EFTPS or to enroll in
information about EFTPS is also available in Pub. 966.
Same-day wire payment option. If the REMIC fails to
submit a deposit transaction on EFTPS by 8 p.m. Eastern
time the day before the date a deposit is due, it can still
make its deposit on time by using the Federal Tax
Collection Service (FTCS) to make a same-day wire
payment. To use the same-day wire payment method, the
REMIC will need to make arrangements with its financial
institution ahead of time. Please check with the financial
institution regarding availability, deadlines, and costs.
Financial institutions may charge a fee for payments made
this way. To learn more about the information required by a
financial institution to make a same-day wire payment, go
retirement or profit-sharing plans, individual retirement
arrangements (IRAs), insurance contracts, etc.; proceeds
from real estate transactions; and distributions from an
HSA, Archer MSA, or Medicare Advantage MSA. Also,
use these returns to report amounts that were received as
a nominee on behalf of another person.
Generally, a REMIC must file Forms 1099-INT and
1099-OID, as appropriate, to report accrued income of
$10 or more of regular interest holders. See Regulations
section 1.6049-7. Also, every REMIC must file Forms
1099-MISC if it makes payments of rents, commissions, or
other fixed or determinable income (see section 6041)
totaling $600 or more to any one person in the course of
its trade or business during the calendar year.

and if the issue price of the residual interest is more than
its adjusted basis, the excess is amortized and included in
the residual interest holder's income ratably over the
anticipated weighted average life of the REMIC (as
defined in Regulations section 1.860E-1(a)(3)(iv)).
If the transferor holds a regular interest and if the
adjusted basis of the regular interest is more than its issue
price, the regular interest holder treats the excess as
amortizable bond premium subject to the rules of section
171. If the transferor holds a residual interest and if the
adjusted basis of the residual interest is more than its
issue price, the excess is deductible ratably over the
anticipated weighted average life of the REMIC (as
defined in Regulations section 1.860E-1(a)(3)(iv)).
Interest and Penalties
Interest. Interest is charged on taxes not paid by the due
date, even if an extension of time to file is granted. Interest
is also charged on penalties imposed for failure to file,
negligence, fraud, substantial valuation misstatements,
substantial understatements of tax, and reportable
transaction understatements from the due date (including
extensions) to the date of payment. The interest charge is
figured at a rate determined under section 6621.
Late filing penalty. A penalty may be charged if the
return is filed after the due date (including extensions) or
the return doesn't show all the information required, unless
each failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to
willful neglect.
If you receive a notice about a penalty after you file this
return, reply to the notice with an explanation of why the
return was late. We will determine if you meet the
reasonable-cause criteria. Don't attach an explanation
when you file your return.
If taxes are due, we will charge a section 6651 penalty
of 5% of the unpaid tax for each month or part of a month
the return is late, up to a maximum of 25% of the unpaid
tax; or, if the return is 60 days or more late, $485 or the
balance of the tax due on the return, whichever is smaller.
If no tax is due, we may charge a section 6698 penalty of
$235 for each person who was a residual interest holder in
the REMIC at any time during the year for each month or
part of a month the return is late, for up to 12 months.
Although we can charge both the section 6651 and
section 6698 penalties when taxes are due, we will
generally charge only one of the penalties, whichever is
greater.
Late payment penalty. The penalty for not paying the
tax when due is usually 1/2 of 1% of the unpaid tax for
each month or part of a month the tax is unpaid. The
penalty can't exceed 25% of the unpaid tax. The penalty
won't be charged if you can show reasonable cause for
not paying on time.
Payments Subject to Withholding at
Source
If there are any nonresident alien individuals, foreign
partnerships, or foreign corporations as regular interest
holders or residual interest holders, and the REMIC has
items of gross income from sources within the United
States (see sections 861 through 865), see Form 1042,
Annual Withholding Tax Return for U.S. Source Income of
Foreign Persons.
Who Must Sign
Startup day after November 9, 1988. For a REMIC with
a startup day after November 9, 1988, Form 1066 may be
signed by any person who could sign the return of the
entity in the absence of the REMIC election. Thus, the
return of a REMIC that is a corporation or trust would be
signed by a corporate officer or a trustee, respectively. For
REMICs with only segregated pools of assets, the return
would be signed by any person who could sign the return
of the entity owning the assets of the REMIC under
applicable state law.
Paid preparer’s information. If someone is paid to
prepare the return, the preparer must sign the return and
complete the “Paid Preparer Use Only” area.

Generally, no gain or loss is recognized by the REMIC or
any of the regular or residual interest holders when
property is transferred to the REMIC in exchange for an
interest in the REMIC. The adjusted basis of the interest
received equals the adjusted basis of the property
transferred to the REMIC.
Note. A paid preparer may sign original returns, amended
returns, or requests for filing extensions by rubber stamp,
mechanical device, or computer software program.
Paid Preparer Authorization
If the REMIC wants to allow the IRS to discuss its 2023 tax
return with the paid preparer who signed it, check the
"Yes" box in the signature area of the return. This
authorization applies only to the individual whose
signature appears in the "Paid Preparer Use Only" section
of the REMIC's return. It doesn't apply to the firm, if any,
shown in that section.
The basis to the REMIC of property transferred by a
regular or residual interest holder is its fair market value
immediately after its transfer.
If the transferor holds a regular interest and if the issue
price of the regular interest is more than its adjusted basis,
the excess is included in income by the regular interest
holder for the applicable tax years as if the excess were
market discount on a bond and the holder had made an
election under section 1278(b) to include this market
discount currently. If the transferor holds a residual interest
If the “Yes” box is checked, the REMIC is authorizing
the IRS to call the paid preparer to answer any questions
that may arise during the processing of its return. The
REMIC is also authorizing the paid preparer to:

(including any additional tax liability), or otherwise
represent the REMIC before the IRS.
The authorization can't be revoked. However, the
authorization will automatically end no later than the due
date (excluding extensions) for filing the REMIC's 2024

If the REMIC issued regular interests at a premium, the
net amount of the premium is income that must be
prorated over the term of these interests. Include this
income on line 5.
Generally, cancellation of REMIC debt (for example,
cancellation of unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid
interest owed to a REMIC regular interest holder) should
be recognized as income and reported on line 5. Attach a
supporting statement to line 5 to separately disclose
income from cancellation of REMIC debt.
REMICs with a startup date before November 12, 1991,
enter any capital gain or (loss) on line 5. The REMIC can

REMIC that are issued on the startup day with fixed terms
and that are designated as regular interests, if:
1. Such interest unconditionally entitles the holder to
receive a specified principal amount or other similar
amounts; and
2. Interest payments (or similar amounts), if any, with
respect to the interest at or before maturity are payable
based on a fixed rate (or at a variable rate described in
Regulations section 1.860G-1(a)(3)), or consist of a
specified portion of the interest payments on qualified
mortgages and this portion doesn't vary during the period
that the interest is outstanding.
Designation of Partnership
Representative (PR)
Unless the REMIC has made a valid election out of the
centralized partnership audit regime or had only one
residual interest holder at all times during the tax year, the
REMIC must designate a PR. The PR can be any person
with a substantial presence in the United States. The PR
will have the sole authority to act on behalf of the REMIC.
If an entity is designated as PR, the REMIC must also
appoint an individual to act on the entity's behalf (a
designated individual (DI)). The DI must also have a
substantial presence in the United States.
How to designate. An original designation of a PR must
be made on the REMIC's Form 1066 filed for each
respective REMIC tax year.
PR authority. The REMIC and all its residual interest
holders (and any other person whose tax liability is
determined in whole or in part by taking into account
directly or indirectly adjustments determined under the
centralized partnership audit regime) are bound by the
actions of the PR in dealings with the IRS. A designation
for a partnership tax year remains in effect until the
designation is terminated by:
The interest will meet the requirements of (1) even if the
timing (but not the amount) of the principal payments (or
other similar amounts) is contingent on the extent of
prepayments on qualified mortgages and the amount of
income from permitted investments.
An interest will still qualify as a regular interest even if
the specified principal amount of the regular interest (or
the amount of interest accrued on the regular interest) can
be reduced as a result of the nonoccurrence of one or
more contingent payments with respect to any reverse
mortgage loan held by the REMIC if, on the startup day for
the REMIC, the sponsor reasonably believes that all
principal and interest due under the regular interest will be
paid at or prior to the liquidation of the REMIC.

Item B—Residual Interest Holder's Percentage of
Ownership
Schedule Q, Quarterly Notice to
Residual Interest Holder of REMIC
Taxable Income or Net Loss
Allocation
Enter in item B2 the percentage at the end of the calendar
quarter. However, if a residual interest holder's percentage
of ownership changed during the quarter, enter in item B1
the percentage immediately before the change. If there
are multiple changes in the percentage of ownership
during the quarter, attach a statement giving the date and
percentage before each change.
Purpose of Schedule
Schedule Q (Form 1066) shows each residual interest
holder's share of the REMIC's quarterly taxable income
(or net loss), the excess inclusion for the residual interest
holder's interest, and the residual interest holder's share
of the REMIC's section 212 expenses for the quarter.
Item C—REMIC Assets
Enter in item C the percentage of the REMIC's assets
during the calendar quarter represented by each of the
following categories of assets.
Although the REMIC isn't subject to income tax (except
on net income from prohibited transactions, net income
from foreclosure property, and contributions made after
the startup day), the residual interest holders are liable for
tax on their shares of the REMIC's taxable income,
whether or not distributed, and must include their shares
on their tax returns.
Real estate assets under section 856(c)(5)(B).
•
Assets described in section 7701(a)(19)(C) (relating to
•
the definition of a domestic building and loan association).
These percentages must be computed using the
average adjusted basis of the assets held during the
calendar quarter. To do this, the REMIC must make the
appropriate computation as of the close of each month,
week, or day and then average the monthly, weekly, or
daily percentages for the quarter. The monthly, weekly, or
daily computation period must be applied uniformly during
the calendar quarter to both categories of assets, and may
not be changed in succeeding calendar quarters without
IRS consent. If the percentage of the REMIC's assets for
either category is at least 95%, the REMIC may show “95
or more” for that category in item C.
Note. Schedule Q (Form 1066) is a separate tax form that
isn't part of Form 1066.
General Instructions
For each calendar quarter, complete Schedule Q (Form
1066) for each person who was a residual interest holder
at any time during the quarter. File Schedule Q with Form
1066. Give one copy to the residual interest holder by the
last day of the month following the month in which the
calendar quarter ends. Keep one copy with a copy of
Form 1066 as part of the REMIC's records.
Specific Instructions
If less than 95% of the assets of the REMIC are real
estate assets (as defined in section 856(c)(5)(B)), the
REMIC must also report to any real estate investment trust
that holds a residual interest the information specified in
Regulations section 1.860F-4(e)(1)(ii)(B). However, if a
REMIC is an “eligible REMIC,” as defined in Notice
2012-5, and a percentage of its assets represented by
either of the categories of assets described under REMIC
assets, earlier, was less than 95% but at least 80%, then
the REMIC need only specify in item C that the
On each Schedule Q, enter the name, address, and
identifying number for each residual interest holder and
