The IRS Form 712 is a statement that provides Life Insurance Policy values as of the date of an insured’s or policy owner's death, or at a time a Life Insurance Policy is transferred as a gift. The IRS requires that this statement be included when an estate (or gift) tax return is filed. This information is generally required in connection with the valuation of the estate and for tax returns required to be filed by the personal representative.
