Property The term “property” includes any interest (legal or equitable) of which the transferee received the beneficial ownership. The transferee is considered the beneficial owner of property over which the transferee received a general power of appointment. Property does not include interests to which the transferee received only a bare legal title, such as that of a trustee. Neither does it include an interest in property over which the transferee received a power of appointment that is not a general power of appointment. In addition to interests in which the transferee received the complete ownership, the credit may be allowed for annuities, life estates, terms for years, remainder interests (whether contingent or vested), and any other interest that is less than the complete ownership of the property, to the extent that the transferee became the beneficial owner of the interest. Maximum Amount of the Credit The maximum amount of the credit is the smaller of: 1. The amount of the estate tax of the transferor's estate attributable to the transferred property, or 2. The amount by which: a. An estate tax on the transferee's estate determined without the credit for tax on prior transfers exceeds b. An estate tax on the transferee's estate determined by excluding from the gross estate the net value of the transfer. If credit for a particular foreign death tax may be taken under either the statute or a death duty convention, and on this return the credit actually is taken under the convention, then no credit for that foreign death tax may be taken into consideration in figuring estate tax (2a) or estate tax (2b) above. Percent Allowable Where transferee predeceased the transferor. If not more than 2 years elapsed between the dates of death, the credit allowed is 100% of the maximum amount. If more than 2 years elapsed between the dates of death, no credit is allowed. Where transferor predeceased the transferee. The percent of the maximum amount that is allowed as a credit depends on the number of years that elapsed between dates of death. It is determined using the following table. Period of Time Exceeding Not Exceeding Percent Allowable . . . - - - - - 2 years 100 2 years 4 years 80 4 years 6 years 60 6 years 8 years 40 8 years 10 years 20 10 years - - - - - none How To Figure the Credit A worksheet for Schedule Q is provided to allow you to figure the limits before completing Schedule Q. Transfer the appropriate amounts from the worksheet to Schedule Q as indicated on the schedule. You do not need to file the worksheet with Form 706, but keep it for your records. Cases involving transfers from two or more transferors. Part I of the worksheet and Schedule Q enable you to figure the credit for as many as three transferors. The number of transferors is irrelevant to Part II of the worksheet. If you are figuring the credit for more than three transferors, use more than one worksheet and Schedule Q, Part I, and combine the totals for the appropriate lines. Section 2032A additional tax. If the transferor's estate elected special-use valuation and the additional estate tax of section 2032A(c) was imposed at any time up to 2 years after the death of the decedent for whom you are filing this return, check the box on Schedule Q. On lines 1 and 9 of the worksheet, include the property subject to the additional estate tax at its FMV rather than its special-use value. On line 10 of the worksheet, include the additional estate tax paid as a federal estate tax paid. How To Complete the Schedule Q Worksheet Most of the information to complete Part I of the worksheet should be obtained from the transferor's Form 706. Line 5. Enter on line 5 the applicable marital deduction claimed for the transferor's estate (from the transferor's Form 706). Lines 10 through 18. Enter on these lines the appropriate taxes paid by the transferor's estate. If the transferor's estate elected to pay the federal estate tax in installments, enter on line 10 only the total of the installments that have actually been paid at the time you file this Form 706. See Rev. Rul. 83-15, 1983-1 C.B. 224, for more details. Line 21. Add lines 11 (allowable applicable credit) and 13 (foreign death taxes credit) of Part 2—Tax Computation to the amount of any credit taken (on line 15) for federal gift taxes on pre-1977 gifts (section 2012). Subtract this total from Part 2—Tax Computation, line 8. Enter the result on line 21 of the worksheet. Line 26. If you figured the marital deduction using the unlimited marital deduction in effect for decedents dying after 1981, for purposes of determining the marital deduction for the reduced gross estate, see Rev. Rul. 90-2, 1990-1 C.B. 169. To determine the “reduced adjusted gross estate,” subtract the amount on line 25 of the Worksheet for Schedule Q from the amount on line 24 of the worksheet. If community property is included in the amount on line 24 of the worksheet, figure the reduced adjusted gross estate using the rules of Regulations section 20.2056(c)-2 and Rev. Rul. 76-311, 1976-2 C.B. 261. -44- Instructions for Form 706 (Rev. 09-2022)
