Nevada Holder Reporting Manual 2021WHAT’S NEW – RECENT CHANGES AND UPDATESNEW - SECURE ActThe Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019, better known as the SECURE Act, whichoriginally passed the House of Representatives in July 2019, was approved by the Senate on December19, 2019 andsigned into law on December 20, 2019. This act changed the required mandatory distribution age (RMD) from 70 ½to 72. Further the CARES Act waived any required mandatory distribution for 2020. While this will not affectcurrent year reporting please take this into consideration as these types of accounts age into dormancy.Senate Bill 44Senate Bill 44 (SB44) of the 2019 Nevada Legislative Session made several changes to Nevada’s unclaimedproperty laws and became effective on July 1, 2019. While these changes were in effect for the past year’sreporting, revisions of Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 120A have now been issued, and the current statuteencompasses all changes resulting from SB44. You can find the updated version of NRS 120A athttps://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-120A.html and below are the changes with the updated statutoryreferences.NRS 120A.730 - FeesPayment by ACH debit is mandatory. A holder who fails to make a payment as required will be assessed a fee bythe Nevada Unclaimed Property Division (“the Division”). The fee will be the greater of 50 or 2 percent of theamount of the payment. Written authorization is required from the Division for a holder to file a report or submitpayment other than by electronic means through the Division’s online reporting portal (“the Portal”).NRS 120A.113 - Virtual (Crypto) CurrencyThis definition provides additional clarity that “virtual currency or interest” is “property” and as such, subject tounclaimed property laws. Prior to July 1, 2019, virtual currency was deemed property under the NRS 120A.113definition of property as “a fixed and certain interest in intangible property that is held, issued or owed in the courseof a holder’s business”. The presumption of abandonment for virtual currency is covered under NRS 120A.500(1)(n),through June 30, 2019 and SB44 (2019) Section 11(1)(o) as of July 1, 2019. For reporting purposes, the propertytype code for virtual currency is MS17 “Miscellaneous Currency”. As Nevada does not currently have the capability toreceive virtual currency in native form, it must be liquidated prior to submitting a report, with the cash value on thedate of liquidation included on, and remitted with, the report. As reports are due before November 1 of each year, itis recommended that the liquidation be no earlier than one month before remitting the report and that the date forliquidation remain consistent from year-to-year.NRS 120A.080“Holder” has been amended to include “business” or “assumed to be obligated” to be holding property for a businessor individual.Definitions for “Payroll card” and “Stored-value card” have been added to the statute.The definition of “Money order” has been amended to include, “an order for payment of a specified amount of money”.The definition of “Property” has been amended to include “all income from or increments to the property”. This includesmoney, virtual currency or interest, or a payroll card, dividend, check, draft, or deposit, stored-value card, unusedticket for which the issuer has an obligation to provide a refund, a security, except for a security that is subject to alien, legal hold or restriction restricts the holder’s or owner’s ability to receive, transfer, sell or otherwise negotiate thesecurity, a security, and a distribution or payment of a dividend. The term does not include property held in an ABLEaccount, game-related digital content, or a loyalty card.Page 55555

Nevada Holder Reporting Manual 2021NRS 120A.500A provision was added to determine when an account of funds established to meet the costs of burial are consideredabandoned. The Division will interpret the recent statutory language as follows:What types of accounts should be turned over as unclaimed property? “An account of funds established to meet the costs of burial” will be interpreted to mean those contractsestablished pursuant to NRS 689.150-.375 and as defined under NRS 689.150(3) for Prepaid Contracts forFuneral Services, as well as, those contracts established pursuant to NRS 689.450-.730 and as definedunder NRS 689.475 for Prepaid Contracts for Burial and Cemetery Services. As provided in NRS 689.480(2)(a), plots, niches, crypts should not be turned over as unclaimed property, asthey should be separately provided for and identified in the contract.How should amounts be calculated and turned over as unclaimed property? The Division will interpret amounts due to be turned over as those which reflect net purchase price of the contract asestablished under NRS 689.065.Who should be listed as the owner of the property? The Division will expect that the property owner be listed as the beneficiary of the contract, as required under NRS689.150(3) and NRS 689.475(1).Example:In 2015, ABC Funeral Home established a funeral services contract with Barbara (the buyer) and her brother, Bob (thebeneficiary) for a total price of 10,000. In April of 2020, Bob passed away at age 89, and his family chose to not usethe preneed contract, nor did they seek to receive a refund. Accordingly, ABC Funeral Home should report the netpurchase price ( 7,500, assuming a 25% sales commission as allowed under statute) as unclaimed property to the Statein the name of Bob.NRS 120A.560This section has been amended to include provisions regarding holders utilizing third party reporters to submit reportsto the Division. Doing so does not alleviate the responsibility of the holder for submitting complete, timely, andaccurate reports of property presumed abandoned, for paying or delivering the property described in the report,and for any penalties, interest, and fees due pursuant to NRS 120A.730.If the apparent owner has previously agreed in writing to receive communication via email, the holder must send duediligence notification both by US mail and email, unless the holder believes the address and/or email address areinvalid.Deduction and withholding codesINDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS – INCOME TAX WITHHELD (TW)On January 1, 2020, the Internal Revenue Service Ruling 2018-17 became effective concerning withholding andreporting taxes with respect to payments from Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”) to state unclaimed propertyprograms.Holders reporting these properties should make use of the NAUPA Standard Deduction and Withholding code “TW”to represent “Income Tax Withheld”. The value “TW” should be recorded in the PROPERTY record in the PROPDEDUCTION-TYPE field. The amount of Federal Tax Withheld should be stored in the PROP-DEDUCTION-AMOUNTfield. This code should be used for any taxes withheld from remitted properties. The value of the property before thededuction should be stored in the PROP-AMOUNT-REPORTED field. The amount remitted to the state after the FederalTax Withholding should be stored in the PROP-AMOUNT-REMITTED field. It is imperative that all withheld taxes arePage 6

A holder may deduct from property presumed abandoned a chargeimposed by reason of the owner’s failure to claim the property within a specified time only if there is a valid andenforceable written contract between the holder and the owner under which the holder may impose the charge andthe holder regularly imposes the charge, which is not regularly reversed or otherwise cancelled. The amount of thededuction must not exceed 5 per month.” Holders with allowable deductions may use the following codes:SW – Service Charge – For dormancy fees.

Failure to do so will result in the report rejecting.Reporting and payment requirementsPlease be aware that Senate Bill 44 explicitly codified the requirement that holders must submit reports andpayments through the Portal. Previously, the requirement to submit reports and payments online was authorized bystatute and confirmed via a published industrywide notice. As before, paper reports, CD ROMS, USB flash drives,spreadsheets, report files, and diskettes submitted by US mail, email, or online, will not be accepted unless priorwritten authorization has been granted by the Division.As a reminder, holder reports and payments submitted through the Portal are encouraged to be submittedsimultaneously. Holders must contact their financial institutions to authorize ACH debit PRIOR to sendingpayments through the Portal by providing them with Nevada’s company code (D886000022) or the paymentwill reject. Be aware that a rejected payment cannot be resubmitted until the initial error has been corrected.Rejected payments may be subject to penalty and interest if the resubmitted payment is received after the reportingdue date pursuant to NRS 120A.730.Payment / report exceptionsRequests to pay by any other means than by ACH debit require the completion of an ACH Debit Payment ExceptionForm.
