General Instructions Purpose of Form Use Form 8876 to report and pay the 40% excise tax imposed under section 5891 on the factoring discount of a structured settlement factoring transaction. File a separate Form 8876 for each date on which you received structured settlement payment rights in one or more structured settlement factoring transactions. Definitions Structured settlement. A structured settlement is an arrangement: • Established (a) by suit or agreement for the periodic payment of damages excludable from the gross income of the recipient under section 104(a)(2) or (b) by agreement for the periodic payment of compensation under any workers’ compensation law excludable from the gross income of the recipient under section 104(a)(1); and • Under which the periodic payments are (a) of the character described in section 130(c)(2) (A) and (B) and (b) payable by a person who is a party to the suit or agreement or to the workers’ compensation claim or by a person who has assumed the liability for such periodic payments under a qualified assignment in accordance with section 130. Structured settlement factoring transaction. A structured settlement factoring transaction is a transfer of structured settlement payment rights (including portions of structured settlement payments) made for consideration by means of sale, assignment, pledge, or other form of encumbrance or alienation for consideration. The following are not structured settlement factoring transactions. For Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice, see instructions. PTIN ▶ • The creation or perfection of a security interest in structured settlement payment rights under a blanket security agreement entered into with an insured depository institution in the absence of any action to redirect the structured settlement payments to that institution (or agent or successor thereof) or otherwise to enforce such blanket security interest as against the structured settlement payment rights. • A subsequent transfer of structured settlement payment rights acquired in a structured settlement factoring transaction. Structured settlement payment rights. Structured settlement payment rights are rights to receive payments under a structured settlement. Factoring discount. The factoring discount is the difference between the total undiscounted amount of structured settlement payments being acquired (line 1) and the total amount paid by the acquirer to the person(s) from whom the structured settlement payment rights are acquired (line 2). Qualified order. A qualified order is a final order, judgment, or decree that: Cat. No. 33529K Form 8876 (Rev. 12-2013) Form 8876 (Rev. 12-2013) • Finds that the transfer of structured settlement payment rights does not contravene any federal or state statute or the order of any court or responsible administrative authority, and is in the best interest of the payee, taking into account the welfare and support of the payee’s dependents; and • Is issued under the authority of an applicable state statute by an applicable state court, or by the responsible administrative authority (if any) that has exclusive jurisdiction over the underlying action or proceeding that was resolved by means of the structured settlement. Who Must File Generally, you must file Form 8876 if you acquire directly or indirectly structured settlement payment rights in a structured settlement factoring transaction entered into after February 21, 2002. However, do not file Form 8876 if the transfer of structured settlement payment rights was approved in advance in a qualified order, as no excise tax is due. When To File File Form 8876 by the 90th day following the receipt of structured settlement payment rights in a structured settlement factoring transaction.

For example, $1.39 becomes $1 and $2.50 becomes $3. If you have to add two or more amounts to figure the amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the amounts and round off only the total.
