Description:
The TIC C-forms are part of the Treasury International Capital (TIC) data reporting system, which is required by law (22 U.S.C. 286f; 22 U.S.C. 3103; E.O. 10033; 31 C.F.R. 128), and are designed to collect quarterly and reliable information on the international portfolio capital claims and liabilities of U.S. nonbanks with unaffiliated foreigners. This information is necessary for compiling the U.S. balance of payments accounts and the U.S. international investment position, and for formulating U.S. international financial and monetary policies.

Who Reports on the C-forms:
All nonbanking enterprises, nonprofit institutions, and other specified U.S. persons, including commercial and industrial firms, insurance companies, and mutual funds. (See Part I.D of the instructions for a list of other organizations.) Excluded are depository institutions, bank holding companies and financial holding companies, and securities brokers and dealers, all of which report on the TIC B-forms.

Historical Forms and Instructions:
