Insurance Returns: Subgroup Consolidation
1120 Subgroup Subconsolidation
The topmost 1120 subgroup Consolidation is consolidated in a Nonlife subgroup or top consolidation (topcon) and is then included in the e-file. You can have many lower 1120 subgroups included (there is no limit) in the topmost 1120 subgroup, but they are not included in the e-file. Only the one topmost 1120 subgroup is allowed in e-file. All entities in the What to Consolidate listing must be of the 1120 return type. Do not mix entity types within a subgroup.
Types of 1120 Subgroup Subconsolidations
The 1120 subgroup can have any of the following structures.
If the entities share the same tax ID number, create a Divcon. The returns listed are divisions. The tax ID is on the Divcon.

1120-PC Subgroup Subconsolidation
ALL 1120-PC returns must be combined in an 1120-PC Subgroup Consolidation. Even if there is only ONE 1120-PC individual company in the entire consolidation, a subgroup is required.
The topmost 1120-PC Subgroup Consolidation is consolidated into a Nonlife subgroup or top consolidation. You can have many lower 1120-PC subgroups included (there is no limit) in the topmost 1120-PC subgroup, but they are not included in the e-file per the IRS schema rules. Only the one topmost 1120-PC subgroup is allowed in the e-file. All entities in the What to Consolidate listing must be of the 1120-PC-type of return. Do not mix entity types in a subgroup subconsolidation.
Types of 1120-PC Subgroup Subconsolidations
The 1120-PC subgroup can have the following three examples in the What to Consolidate listing.
If your parent is in this group and a 1120-PC, your NL or LNL top consolidation must be a 1120-PC and is not allowed to e-file yet.

ALL 1120-L returns must be combined in an 1120-L subgroup Consolidation. Even if there is only ONE 1120-L individual company in the entire consolidation, a subgroup is required for the tax product. The topmost 1120-L subgroup consolidation is consolidated with a Nonlife subgroup into the Life Nonlife topcon. You can have many lower 1120-L subgroups included (there is no limit) in the topmost 1120-L subgroup, but they are not in the e-file. Only the topmost 1120-L subgroup is allowed in the e-file.

Subgroup Top Consolidation
This is NOT a Mixed Group filing. This consolidation contains entities that are all of one type of return. If multiple 1120-PCs (and no 1120 or 1120-L returns) file to the IRS together, your top consolidation is an 1120-PC subgroup top consolidation. If multiple 1120-Ls (and no 1120 or 1120-PC returns) file to the IRS together, your top consolidation is an 1120-L subgroup top consolidation.
While this return resembles a subgroup Subconsolidation, it is an Insurance top consolidation that can file to the IRS by print only. The IRS does not yet accept e-file for this return type.
Types of Subgroup Top Consolidation Structures
These are the following possible structures for a subgroup top consolidation.
If all entities in the consolidation are 1120-PCs, then the example would be:
| Parent Slot | 1120-PC Subgroup/Parent |
| Elimination Slot | 1120-PC Elimination |
| Subsidiary Slot | 1120-PC Subgroup/Parent |
If all entities in the consolidation are 1120-Ls, then the example would be:
| Parent Slot | 1120-L Subgroup/Parent |
| Elimination Slot | 1120-L Elimination |
| Subsidiary Slot | 1120-L Subgroup/Parent |
