The document provides two examples of pro forma federal Form 706 for estate tax calculations in 2004, detailing the taxable estates of $2,000,000 and $1,000,000. It explains how to compute the taxable estate, adjusted taxable gifts, tentative tax, and applicable credits against estate taxes. The first example illustrates a taxable estate subject to federal tax due to a lower unified credit amount, while the second example shows an estate that is not federally taxable but requires completion of Form 706 for state purposes.

Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What value will be used for estate tax purposes?

The gross estate of the decedent consists of an accounting of everything you own or have certain interests in at the date of death (Refer to Form 706 PDF). The fair market value of these items is used, not necessarily what you paid for them or what their values were when you acquired them.

What is the valuation for estate tax purposes?

Estate taxes are based on the fair market value of property. Fair market value is the price that the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller. This assumes neither party is under compulsion to buy or sell.

How to avoid estate tax in Maine?

Maine Estate Tax Exemption The estate tax threshold for Maine is $7 million in 2025. If your estate is worth less than that, Maine wont charge estate tax on it. If it is worth more than that, youll owe a percentage of the estate to the government based on a series of progressive rates.

What is the maximum amount you can inherit without paying taxes?

While state laws differ for inheritance taxes, an inheritance must exceed a certain threshold to be considered taxable. For federal estate taxes as of 2024, if the total estate is under $13.61 million for an individual or $27.22 million for a married couple, theres no need to worry about estate taxes.

How is the value of an estate calculated?

Determining the Estates Value The value of an estate for tax purposes is determined by calculating the fair market value (FMV) of all the deceased persons assets as of the date of their death. In other words, you add up what each asset would sell for on the open market (not what was originally paid for it).
