Montana Reporting Specifics

Montana generally enforces a 5-year dormancy period for standard banking properties, including savings accounts, checking accounts, and certificates of deposit. This 5-year period also applies to mineral proceeds and fiduciary funds.

However, holders must be aware of shorter timelines for other asset classes. Securities, dividends, and matured life insurance policies have a 3-year dormancy period. Even more accelerated is the reporting timeline for wages, utility deposits, and property resulting from business dissolution, which become reportable after just 1 year.

Montana allows for an aggregate limit of $50. Items valued under this amount may be grouped together and reported as a lump sum without detailed owner information, simplifying the reporting process for smaller obligations.
