This code indicates that Form 706, which is used to determine the amount of the estate tax, has been accepted as filed and an examination has been concluded.
If the estate generates more than $600 in annual gross income, you are required to file Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts. An estate may also need to pay quarterly estimated taxes. See Form 1041 instructions for information on when to file quarterly estimated taxes.
An estate tax return (Form 706) must be filed if the gross estate of the decedent (who is a U.S. citizen or resident), increased by the decedents adjusted taxable gifts and specific gift tax exemption, is valued at more than the filing threshold for the year of the decedents death, as shown in the table below.
You must file Form 706 to report estate and/or GST tax within 9 months after the date of the decedents death.
Residents of Maine If you die while a resident of Maine, the personal representative or executor of your estate must file the Maine estate tax return if your gross estate plus all taxable gifts you made in the year before your death add up to more than $7 million. (Smaller estates wont need to file the return.)

Its also possible for beneficiaries to owe tax if the estate generates more than $600 in gross income during administration, triggering an IRS filing requirement. In such instances, estates may pass that income to beneficiaries via Schedule K-1, which reports the amount each person must include on their tax return.
Form 706 ensures that estate taxes are adequately assessed for larger estates, while Form 1041 helps report the estates income during the settlement process. By understanding these differences, executors and administrators can better manage estate obligations.
