taxpayer identification number (TIN) of the payment

General Instructions  
This form 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. In  
general, a reportable policy sale is any direct or indirect  
acquisition of any interest in a life insurance contract if the  
acquirer, at the time of the acquisition, has no substantial  
family, business, or financial relationship with the person  
insured under that contract, apart from the acquirer’s  
interest in such life insurance contract. See section 101(a)  
(3). Certain exceptions may apply. See Regulations  
section 1.101-1(c)(2). The acquisition of an interest in a  
partnership, trust, or other entity that holds an interest in a  
life insurance contract may be an indirect acquisition of  
that interest in a life insurance contract and may be a  
Payment Recipient  
In general, a reportable policy sale payment recipient  
(payment recipient) is any person that receives a  
reportable policy sale payment in a reportable policy sale.  
A payment recipient may include any seller in the  
reportable policy sale (any person that holds an interest in  
a life insurance contract and transfers that interest, or any  
part of that interest, to an acquirer in a reportable policy  
sale), as well as any broker or other intermediary that  
retains a portion of the cash or other consideration  
transferred in the reportable policy sale. See Regulations  
Nov 20, 2019  
Cat. No. 71418S  
section 1.6050Y-1(a)(16)(i) for the definition of a  
reportable policy sale payment recipient and section  
1.6050Y-1(a)(18)(i) for the definition of seller. However, a  
person other than a seller is not a payment recipient if that  
person received aggregate payments of less than $600  
with respect to a reportable policy sale. See Regulations  
section 1.6050Y-1(a)(16)(ii).  
For more information about the requirement to furnish a  
statement to the payment recipient and the issuer, see  
part M in the current General Instructions for Certain  
Information Returns.  
Truncating recipient’s TIN on payment recipient  
statements. Pursuant to Regulations section  
301.6109-4, all filers of this form may truncate the  
payment recipient’s TIN (social security number (SSN),  
individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption  
taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer  
identification number (EIN)) on statements furnished to a  
payment recipient (Copy B). Truncation is not allowed on  
any documents the filer files with the IRS. An acquirer’s  
TIN may not be truncated on any form. See part J in the  
current General Instructions for Certain Information  
Returns.  
Issuer  
The issuer is the person responsible for administering the  
life insurance contract, including collecting premiums and  
paying death benefits under the contract, on the date a  
Form 1099-LS is required to be furnished under section  
6050Y(a), or their designee. See Regulations section  
1.6050Y-1(a)(8)(i), (ii), and (iv).  
Policy Number  
The policy number is the unique identifying number  
assigned to the life insurance contract by the issuer  
named on the Form 1099-LS.  
Rescission of Reportable Policy Sale  
If a reportable policy sale is rescinded and you have filed  
a Form 1099-LS with respect to the reportable policy sale,  
you must file a corrected Form 1099-LS within 15  
Statements to Payment Recipient and Issuer  
calendar days of the receipt of notice of the rescission. If a  
reportable policy sale is rescinded and you have furnished  
a statement with respect to the reportable policy sale to a  
payment recipient or issuer, you must furnish the recipient  
of that statement with a corrected statement within 15  
calendar days of the receipt of notice of the rescission.  
See Regulations section 1.6050Y-2(e).  
If you are required to file Form 1099-LS, you must  
generally furnish a statement or acceptable substitute to  
each payment recipient and to the issuer, as shown in the  
table below. The requirement to furnish a statement to the  
issuer applies only with respect to a Form 1099-LS filed  
with respect to the seller and only if your acquisition of an  
interest in a life insurance contract in a reportable policy  
sale is a direct acquisition. See Regulations section  
1.6050Y-2(d)(2)(i). Statements furnished to the issuer  
should be directed to the administrative office that,  
pursuant to the life insurance contract, processes  
transfers of ownership. You may not have to furnish  
statements to the payment recipient and issuer if another  
acquirer or third party information reporting contractor  
reports on your behalf under the unified reporting  
provisions of Regulations section 1.6050Y-2(b).
