    2. Field 0205 (Net Taxable Estate Computer) is less than $10,000,000.

    Note:

    If Line 7a exceeds $10,000,000, the taxpayer is required to enter the lesser of Line 5 (Field 0205, "Net Taxable Estate" (also referred to on the Form 706 as "Add Lines 3 and 4" ), or $17,184,000. If Line 5 (Field 0205) is $10,000,000 or less, the taxpayer is advised to skip Lines 7a (02GTT) and 7b (02NTTT) and enter -0- (zero) in Line 7c (02TNT). Check for taxpayer and transcription errors.

3.12.263.8.28.2  (01-01-2009)
Correction Procedures

  1. The computer compares the amount transcribed from Page 1, Part 2, Line 13 (Tax Years 2002 through 2004) (This was Line 15 for Tax Years 2001 and prior) with the amount the computer has calculated for the maximum state death tax credit. The computer calculates using the State Death Tax Rates. See Exhibit 3.12.263-6.

  2. See IRM 3.12.263.3.1, General Requirements, if the tax changes due to the correction made. Check for coding and transcription errors.

  3. If transcribed correctly, send the applicable TPNC.

    Note:

    For Tax Year 2005 and subsequent, the credit for State Death Taxes has been replaced by the State Death Tax Deduction. For returns with dates of death in 2005 - 2008 filed on a 2004 or prior year return with an entry on Line 13, correspond. If Line 13 contains a statement, comment, asterisk, or other notation, suspend 410 to Lead.

    If Then
    Field 0203C (Taxable Estate) is decreased The maximum credit that can be claimed in Field 02TBA will also decrease.
    The amount claimed by the taxpayer is greater than the calculated maximum credit, the field will underprint Send TPNC 90. Suggested wording: "Due to the decrease in your taxable estate, the maximum credit you can claim for state death taxes paid has also been reduced."
    Field 0203C (Taxable Estate) is increased
    1. The maximum credit that can be claimed in Field 02TBA will also increase. See the instructions for Error Code 102 for additional information.
    2. The Code and Edit and ERS instructions tell the tax examiner to search the return and enter the total state taxes paid. Should the total state taxes paid exceed the maximum credit, the field will underprint.
    3. Send TPNC 90. Suggested wording for TPNC 90: "Since your taxable estate has increased, the maximum that can be claimed as a state death tax credit has also increased. We have allowed the maximum credit to which you are entitled."
    You use the TPNC 90 described above DO NOT include the TPNC 90 used for Error Codes 102 and 106.
    Transcribed correctly Send the applicable TPNC.
    A Math error occurs that affects Balance Due/Overpayment (Field 03B/R) on an installment return or an extension to pay See IRM 3.12.263.8.17, Error Code 102, for further instructions.
  4. IMPORTANT: For Tax Years 2002, 2003, and 2004, the Credit for State Death Taxes is calculated at a lower percentage than for returns for Tax Years 2001 and prior. Although since 2002, it has been on Line 13, it was located on Line 15 for tax years 2001 and prior.

  5. Field 02TBA is transcribed from the dotted line located to the right of the arrow on Line 13 (Table B amount) Page 1, Part 2, and is the tax amount from Table B for Line 3c (Taxable Estate), subtract Line 2 from Line 1 minus $60,000. If the dotted line is blank and there is an entry in Line 3c (Taxable Estate), use the following instructions:

    1. Check all coding and transcription errors and correct as needed. Determine whether the Tax Period (Field 01TXP) is correct.

    2. Look at the entry shown on Line 3c (Taxable Estate). If blank, this figure is obtained by subtracting Line 2 (Total Allowable Deductions) from Line 1 (Total Gross Estate) under Part 2 (Tax Computation).

    3. Subtract $60,000 from Line 3 (Taxable Estate) to determine the figure described on the Table B Worksheet as the "Federal Adjusted Taxable Estate" . (The $60,000 is the Adjustment figure shown on the worksheet. See Exhibit 3.12.263-6. for details on computing this amount. Make a note of this amount, but DO NOT enter the result on the return.).

    4. Instead subtract this figure from the Column 1 and Column 2 range amount from Table B. Multiply the result by the percentage in Column 4 and add that figure to the amount in Column 3. This equals the maximum credit for state death taxes to be entered on Line 13A (Field 02TBA).

    5. Enter the applicable credit amount shown on Table B in Field 02TBA (and on the dotted line to the right of the arrow (>) on Line 13 of the return, if blank). The computer should calculate the entry for Line 13 (Field 02SDC) by multiplying Field 02TBA by the appropriate reduced credit percentage (e.g., for tax period 2002, multiply Field 02TBA by 75%; for tax period 2003, 50%; and for tax period 2004, 25%). Edit the correction on Line 13 of the return, if different, placing an "X" to the left of the incorrect figure on Line 13 and the corrected figure to the left of the "X" .

  6. The computer will redisplay Error Code 122 and the computer underprint for Field 02TBA will display with the computer's calculation for maximum state death tax credit based on the formulas for Computing State Death Tax Credit After 1976. See Exhibit 3.12.263-6.

  7. Overlay Field 02TBA with the computer underprint to clear the error condition. NOTE: The computer can correctly calculate the figure for Field 02SDC as long as an initial figure was entered in Field 02TBA.

  8. If Error Code 122 displays due to the Line 13 state tax credit incorrectly input into Field 02TBA, enter the taxpayer's Line 13 figure in Field 02TBA.

  9. When Error Code 122 redisplays, overwrite Field 02TBA with the computer underprint to clear the error condition.

  10. See IRM 3.12.263.5.17, Field 02TBA-Table B State Death Credit Tax, for additional information, including handling of current and prior year returns and prior year revisions of Form 706.
