Future Developments

Form 8870 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after
they were published, go to www.irs.gov/form8870.
Who Must File
Section 170(f)(10) requires a charitable organization described in
section 170(c) or a charitable remainder trust described in
section 664(d) to complete and file Form 8870 if it paid
premiums after February 8, 1999, on certain life insurance,
annuity, and endowment contracts (personal benefit contracts).
Note. Section 170(f)(10)(A) denies a charitable contribution
deduction for a transfer to a “charitable organization” if the
charitable organization pays any premium on a personal benefit
contract with respect to the transferor. If there is an
understanding or expectation that any other person will pay any
premium on the personal benefit contract, that payment is
treated as made by the organization.
Section 170(f)(10)(F)(iii) requires a charitable organization to
report annually:
1. The amount of any premiums it paid, on a personal benefit
contract to which section 170(f)(10) applies;
2. The name and taxpayer identification number (TIN) of each
beneficiary under each contract to which the premiums relate;
and
3. Any other information the Secretary may require.
Definitions
Charitable organization. A charitable organization is an
organization described in section 170(c). For purposes of this
form, a charitable remainder trust, as defined in section 664(d),
is also a charitable organization.
Personal benefit contract. In general, section 170(f)(10)(B)
defines a “personal benefit contract,” with respect to the
transferor, as any life insurance, annuity, or endowment
contract that benefits, directly or indirectly, the transferor, a
member of the transferor’s family or any other person
designated by the transferor (other than an organization
described in section 170(c)).
Exception for charitable gift annuity. Under section 170(f)
(10)(D), a person receiving payments under a charitable gift
annuity (as defined in section 501(m)) funded by an annuity
contract purchased by a charitable organization is not treated
as an indirect beneficiary of a personal benefit contract if the
timing and amount of the payments under the annuity contract
are substantially the same as the charitable organization’s
obligations under the charitable gift annuity.
For this exception to apply, the charitable organization must
possess all the incidents of ownership and be entitled to all the
payments under the annuity contract.
Exception for charitable remainder trusts. Under section
170(f)(10)(E), a person receiving annuity or unitrust payments
from a charitable remainder trust is not treated as an indirect
beneficiary of a life insurance, annuity, or endowment contract if
the trust possesses all of the incidents of ownership under the
contract and is entitled to all payments under the contract.
When To File
A charitable organization, other than a charitable remainder
trust described in section 664(d), that paid premiums on a
personal benefit contract must file Form 8870 by the fifteenth
day of the fifth month after the end of the tax year. A charitable
remainder trust described in section 664(d) must file Form 8870
by April 15 following the calendar year during which it paid the
premiums.
If the regular due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal
holiday, file on the next business day. A business day is any
day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
If the return is not filed by the due date (including any
extension granted), attach a statement giving the reasons for
not filing on time.
Where To File
Send the return to the Department of the Treasury, Internal
Revenue Service, Ogden, UT 84201-0027.
Private delivery services. You can use certain private delivery
services designated by the IRS to meet the “timely mailing as
timely filing/paying” rule for tax returns and payments. The
private delivery services include only the following:
• DHL Express (DHL): DHL Same Day Service.
• Federal Express (FedEx): FedEx Priority Overnight, FedEx
Standard Overnight, FedEx 2Day, FedEx International Priority,
and FedEx International First.
• United Parcel Service (UPS): UPS Next Day Air, UPS Next Day
Air Saver, UPS 2nd Day Air, UPS 2nd Day Air A.M., UPS
Worldwide Express Plus, and UPS Worldwide Express.
The private delivery service can tell you how to get written
proof of the mailing date.
Extension of Time To File
A charitable organization, including a charitable remainder trust,
may obtain an extension of time to file Form 8870 by filing Form
8868, Application for Extension of Time To File an Exempt
Organization Return, on or before the due date of the return.
Generally, the IRS will not grant an extension of time for more
than 90 days. If more time is needed, file a second Form 8868
for an additional 90-day extension. In no event will an extension
of more than 6 months be granted to any domestic organization.
Form 8870 (Rev. 8-2013)
Page 5
Amended Return
The organization may file an amended return at any time to
change or add to the information reported on a previously filed
return for the same period.
An amended return must provide all the information called for
by the form and instructions, not just the new or corrected
information. Write “Amended Return” at the top of an amended
Form 8870.
Signature
To make the return complete, an officer of the organization
authorized to sign it must sign in the space provided. For a
corporation or association, this officer may be the president,
vice president, treasurer, assistant treasurer, chief accounting
officer, or other corporate or association officer, such as a tax
officer. A receiver, trustee, or assignee must sign any return he
or she files for a corporation or association. For a trust, the
authorized trustee(s) must sign.
Paid Preparer Use Only
Anyone who prepares the return but does not charge the
organization should not sign the return. Certain others who
prepare the return should not sign. For example, a regular,
full-time employee of the lender, such as a clerk, secretary, etc.,
should not sign.
Generally, anyone who is paid to prepare a return must sign it
and fill in the other blanks in the Paid Preparer Use Only area of
the return. A paid preparer cannot use a social security number
in the Paid Preparer Use Only box. The paid preparer must use
a preparer tax identification number (PTIN). If the paid preparer
is self-employed, the preparer should enter his or her address in
the box. The paid preparer must:
• Sign the return in the space provided for the preparer’s
signature,
• Enter the preparer information, and
• Give a copy of the return to the organization.
Penalties
Returns required by section 170(f)(10)(F)(iii) are subject to the
penalties applicable to returns required under section 6033.
There are also criminal penalties for willful failure to file and for
filing fraudulent returns and statements. See sections 7203,
7206, and 7207.
Other Returns You May Need To File
Excise tax return. Section 170(f)(10)(F)(i) imposes on a
charitable organization an excise tax equal to the premiums
paid by the organization on any personal benefit contract, if the
payment of premiums is in connection with a transfer for which
a deduction is not allowed under section 170(f)(10)(A).
For purposes of this excise tax, section 170(f)(10)(F)(ii)
provides that premium payments made by any other person,
pursuant to an understanding or expectation described in
section 170(f)(10)(A), are treated as made by the charitable
organization.
A charitable organization liable for excise taxes under section
170(f)(10)(F)(i) must file a return on Form 4720, Return of Certain
Excise Taxes Under Chapters 41 and 42 of the Internal Revenue
Code, to report and pay the taxes due.
Information returns. Generally, an organization described in
section 170(c) files either Form 990, Return of Organization
Exempt From Income Tax, Form 990-EZ, Short Form Return of
Organization Exempt From Income Tax, or Form 990-PF,
Return of Private Foundation or Section 4947(a)(1) Nonexempt
Charitable Trust Treated as a Private Foundation.
A charitable remainder trust described in section 664(d) files
Form 5227, Split-Interest Trust Information Return.
