Summary

Issuers of certified long-term care insurance must file a report with the IRS by February 1 after the calendar year. For each purchaser the report must show the issuer’s name and tax ID, say that the coverage is certified long-term care insurance, give the owner’s name, identify who is covered and their relationship to the owner, state the premiums paid that year, and include any other information the IRS requires. Issuers must also give each covered person a written statement with the issuer’s contact (name, address, phone) and the total premiums and charges for that person for the year. If a policy covers more than one person, reports and statements must show only the premium amount that applies to the person named. If someone asks before year-end, the issuer must provide the statement then and send a copy to the IRS.
