Surety Companies Must File Schedule F
If you are a surety company or other for-profit business recognized by the Treasury, you must continue to file the Annual Financial Statement—Schedule F using FS Form 6314 (OMB No. 1530-0008). The agency estimates 317 respondents will spend between 1 and 40 hours each preparing the form, for a total annual burden of 6,499 hours; written comments are due by October 16, 2026.
Treasury Uses Schedule F To Check Solvency
The Schedule F data (FS Form 6314) is used to compute unauthorized reinsurance for Treasury-approved admitted reinsurers. That computation helps the Treasury check the solvency of companies it recognizes to write Federal surety bonds and their ability to meet contractual requirements.
