Understanding Estate Tax Returns

An estate tax return provides a comprehensive account of the deceased person’s assets, debts and overall net worth at the time of death. This return reflects the total value of the estate and determines any federal estate taxes are owed.

Filing can be complex and often requires the valuation of a wide range of property, including real estate, investments, and businesses. It also involves careful planning to identify available deductions and credits that may reduce the estate’s tax burden.

Moreover, filing an accurate estate tax return on time is essential for legal compliance and for protecting the estate’s value for beneficiaries. Given the complexity and financial impact of estate tax return preparation, it’s important to work with a legal team that can guide you through each step of the process. At Chisholm Law Group, LLC, we offer clear, detail-oriented support to ensure your filing is handled properly and efficiently.

Trust And Estate Tax Services You Can Trust

Whether you’re an executor, trustee or surviving family member, we make sure your legal and tax responsibilities are met correctly and on time. We help you navigate important tasks such as:

  • Preparing estate tax returns: (IRS Form 706 and state estate tax returns): We routinely prepare federal and state estate tax returns to make valuable tax elections (e.g. portability, QTIP, etc.) and have significant experience with the complexities which may be involved. We work with our clients to ensure the returns are accurate and complete, capturing all allowable deductions, making any necessary elections, and meeting required compliance standards.
  • Fiduciary accountings: As fiduciary, you’re responsible for maintaining accurate records and preparing income tax returns for the estate or trust. We help you prepare formal fiduciary accountings that are court-compliant, easy to understand, and audit-ready. This includes tracking income and expenses, preparing asset inventories, and documenting distributions. Preparing fiduciary accountings is an important tool in protecting fiduciaries from personal liability.
  • Probate and tax compliance: From probate court filings to IRS deadlines, we help you stay in full compliance. We coordinate all reporting obligations, ensure proper documentation, and work to prevent penalties or delays.
  • Minimizing delays and avoiding errors: Mistakes in estate administration can lead to costly delays, IRS scrutiny, and upset beneficiaries.

We catch issues early, ensure complete and accurate filings, and keep your case moving forward.
