It sounds like you received a Form 1099-LS?

 

You would receive a Form 1099-LS if you are the acquirer of a life insurance contract, or any interest in a life insurance contract, in a reportable policy sale. See the Instructions for Form 1099-LS below, for complete filing requirements.

 

There is not a specific place to post a 1099-LS.  However, to take advantage of the premium payments, you would enter it as investment income as follows:

 

  1. Go to the Income Section
  2. Choose I'll choose what I work on
  3. Scroll down to Investment income
  4. Select Stocks, Bonds etc.
  5. Answer No, you did not get a 1099-B
  6. Type of investment you sold Everything Else
  7. Description is 1099-LS Life Insurance, Amount, and Date
  8. It may ask for the date a second time
  9. Answer that you purchased the property
  10. Then enter cost basis and date
