Form 1098-Q (Keep for your records) www.irs.gov/Form1098Q
Instructions for Participant

The information on this Form 1098-Q is submitted to the IRS 

by the issuer of your qualifying longevity annuity contract 

(QLAC) to report the status of the contract. Prior to 

annuitization, the value of any QLAC purchased after July 1, 

2014, held by your plan or IRA (section 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 

408 (other than a Roth IRA) or eligible governmental plan 

under section 457(b)), is not included when calculating the 

required minimum distribution (RMD) from your plan or IRA.

You will receive this statement annually beginning with the 

first year in which premiums are paid and ending with the 

earlier of the year in which you attain age 85 or die. In the 

event of your death, if the sole beneficiary under the contract 

is your surviving spouse, this annual statement will be 

furnished to your surviving spouse until distributions 

commence, or if earlier, the year in which your surviving 

spouse dies.

If you have questions about your QLAC, contact the issuer 

at the address and phone number shown on the front of the 

form.

Account number. May show an account or other unique 

number the issuer assigned to distinguish your account.

Participant's taxpayer identification number (TIN). For your 

protection, this form may show only the last four digits of your 

TIN (social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer 

identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification 

number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN)). 

However, the issuer has reported your complete TIN to the 

IRS.

Plan number, name, and EIN. Shows, if the contract was 

purchased under a plan, the number of the plan, the name of 

the plan, and the EIN of the plan sponsor.

Box 1a. Annuity amount on start date. If the payments have 

not started, shows the annuity amount payable on start date. 

Box 1b. Annuity start date. If the payments have not started, 

shows the date on which the annuity is scheduled to start. The 

date reported is shown in the format month, day, and year 

(mmddyyyy).

Box 2. If checked, shows that the start date may be 

accelerated.

Box 3. Shows the cumulative total amount of premiums paid 

for the contract. Your cumulative total premiums paid for all 

QLACs cannot exceed $125,000. Also, QLACs purchased 

under an IRA cannot exceed 25% of your total IRA account 

balances and QLACs purchased under an employer's plan 

cannot exceed 25% of your account balance in the plan. If 

you have paid more than that, contact your contract issuer.

Box 4. Shows the fair market value (FMV) of your QLAC as of 

December 31, 2018.

Boxes 5a–5l. Shows the amount of each premium paid for the 

contract and the date each premium payment was made in 

2018. If there is more than one payment per month, the box 

for that month will include the total payments for the month 

and the date of the last payment in the month.

developments related to Form 1098-Q and its instructions,
