Deferred acquisition costs for insurance returns

Deferred Acquisition Costs (DAC) are amortized under Section 848 and entered mostly on 1120-L returns, and occasionally on 1120-PC returns. These expenses are incurred when gathering new premiums that then need to be amortized on the 1120-L tax return.
The Deferred Acquisition Costs are located on Form 1120-L, Page 4, Schedule G.
