What Is Form 706 Used For in New York?
Form 706, also known as the United States Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return, plays a key role in determining the federal estate tax owed by the estate of a deceased U.S. citizen or resident. It also allows for deductions and credits that can considerably lighten the tax load.
In New York, our team manages all aspects—from identifying and valuing assets to documenting deductions and charitable contributions, calculating tax responsibilities, and filing the return. Presti & Naegele provides clarity during challenging times, letting you prioritize what truly matters.
What Is the Threshold for Filing Form 706 in New York?
Form 706 needs to be filed when the gross estate, combined with adjusted taxable gifts and specific exemption allocations, surpasses the IRS threshold, which has recently been set above $13 million. Estate tax laws constantly change, and misunderstanding the threshold could lead to penalties or missed planning chances.
In New York, Presti & Naegele is always up to date with IRS changes, offering precise guidance tailored to your unique situation. Whether you're clear about filing requirements or uncertain, our proactive advisors enable you to make informed, confident decisions.

What IRS Form Do I Use for Inheritance in New York?
While Form 706 focuses on estate tax reporting and calculation, it’s commonly mistaken for other inheritance-related forms. If you're set to inherit assets and are unsure about reporting duties, it depends on the nature of the assets.
We help determine the appropriate forms to use—whether it's Form 706 for the estate, Form 1041 for fiduciary income tax, or none if the inheritance isn’t taxable. In New York, Presti & Naegele ensures you're never left unclear about your responsibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Form 706 required for every estate?
No, Form 706 is only required if the estate's value exceeds the federal estate tax exemption threshold for the year of the decedent's death. However, it may still be beneficial to file in some cases—for example, to elect portability for a surviving spouse. We help assess whether filing is required or advisable.
How long do I have to file Form 706 after someone dies?
Form 706 is due nine months after the decedent’s date of death, with a possible six-month extension if requested. Timely filing is critical, as delays can incur interest and penalties. Presti & Naegele ensures you meet all IRS deadlines without stress.
Can Form 706 be amended after filing?
Yes, Form 706 can be amended to correct errors or include additional deductions. However, amendments can trigger IRS scrutiny, so they must be handled with care. Our team manages both original and amended filings with precision and transparency.
How does Form 706 affect heirs?
Form 706 primarily concerns the estate, not individual heirs. However, its accuracy can impact the net value of inheritances. A well-prepared return maximizes deductions, reduces tax exposure, and protects heirs from future IRS complications.
What if the estate includes complex assets like real estate or business interests?
These assets require professional valuation and often complicate estate tax calculations. Presti & Naegele specializes in handling estates with real estate, privately held businesses, and other complex assets—ensuring every valuation and deduction is IRS-compliant and defensible.
