Insurance return setup

To create and set up your insurance return, choose the proper return type, entity type, and data source. If these selections are not accurate, the compute, print, and e-file components won’t work correctly when creating an insurance consolidation.
There are two ways to create your return:
  • Rollover a previous year’s return, so that the prior year ending balances are shown in the beginning balance columns for the current year.
  • Create an entirely new return, and either import or enter the beginning and ending balances for the balance sheet items.

Step 1: Rollover a Return from the Prior Year’s Return

Rollover of an 1120 Return
Rollover of an 1120 parent or subsidiary company is relatively straightforward. Select the rollover option on the side of the screen or use a batch rollover to transfer your year end balances to the current year return.
Rollover of the 1120-PC and 1120-L Returns
We provide two options to flow prior year balances to the tax return:
  • Option 1: The balances come from the current year Annual Statement.
  • Option 2: The balances come from rolled over prior year balances.

Step 2: Enter Federal Tax ID Number and Entity Information

The federal tax ID number (EIN) is mandatory for all returns except for elimination returns, subgroup subconsolidation returns, divisions, and consolidated returns. The tax ID can be reviewed in
Organizer
General Information
Basic Return Information
Entity Information tab of the return created
.
Requirements
The tax ID (EIN) is required/not required for the following types of entities:
  • Parent, Subsidiary, or Corporate Single Entity: The tax ID is required for the single company returns.
  • Subgroup Subconsolidation: Tax ID is not required.
  • Top consolidation (topcon) company: The Parent tax ID transfers to this level. This is not required.
  • Eliminations: Tax ID is not required.
  • Division: Tax ID is not required.
  • Divisional Subconsolidation: Tax ID is required, as this represents a legal filing entity.
If you have applied for a tax ID, the EIN Applied for checkbox is available on the Entity Information screen below the EIN.

Step 3: Choose Return/Entity Type

Review the data found on the Entity Information tab after creating or rolling over a return.
