Who needs estate tax return?

1. An estate tax return needs to be filed by the executor or administrator of an estate when the total value of the decedent's estate exceeds the estate tax exemption amount set by the IRS. In 2021, the exemption amount is $11.7 million per individual, or $23.4 million for married couples filing jointly.
2. Additionally, some states may have their own estate tax laws and exemption thresholds that must be considered. It is important to consult with a tax professional or review the specific requirements of the state where the decedent resided.
3. It is also worth noting that a federal estate tax return may still need to be filed even if the estate's value does not exceed the exemption amount. This could be necessary if the estate has a surviving spouse who wants to claim any unused portion of the deceased spouse's exemption (portability election) or if the estate wants to make certain elections or disclose certain information to the IRS.
