Form E-TAX: Annual Tax and Fees Report

You must use the NAIC OPTins (www.optins.org) system, or a system that is interfaced to provide reports and payments through the NAIC OPTins system, to file insurance premium tax reports and payments.  Reports and payments filed through the mail will be voided and returned, and will be considered not to have been filed.

Before proceeding with your OPTins tax/fee filing and payment:

  • Please read E-TAX-I instructions.
  • Resolve all errors in forms.  Do not submit a form if it contains cells highlighted with a yellow background or red error text.

Please only use the newest version of tax forms, which are continuously improved from tax preparer feedback and which are configured for use with OPTins.
