Description
Understanding how to stay compliant with the IRS basis consistency requirements and new rules can help you and your clients ensure reporting is done is accurate and within the guidelines.IRS Form 8971 is required for any estate required to file a Form 706 after July 2015. As a result, the IRS now enforces the new requirement that many executors report to beneficiaries the estate tax value of certain assets received from decedents. Questions arise, however, on how to value assets, what the filing requirements are, and how executors should be thinking about distributions and potential litigation. This topic will help estate planners and executors alike understand the two key components of the IRS statutory provisions (1) the substantive rule requiring basis consistency under IRC 167 1014(f) and (2) reporting requirements imposed on executors and other individuals under IRC 167 6035. Our experienced speakers provide a thorough guide to the estate basis consistency rules and practical considerations for complying with the Code.
