Successfully Completing Form 8971 and Understanding the Underlying Basis Issues and Risks
Watch Now! |
---|
The executor of any new estate required to file a Form 706 must understand the basis consistency rules. These rules and new IRS Form 8971 are an information reporting regime to maintain consistency between the values reported on an estate tax return and the income tax basis reported by beneficiaries. On the surface, the new reporting seems manageable; however, it can be quite complicated. In his exclusive LISI Webinar, Bob Keebler will discuss the many issues estate planners and administrators will need to work through to comply with the Code and protect the estate, beneficiaries, and themselves. Bob will cover the following topics:
- Overview of the new basis consistency regulations;
- The Zero Basis Rule: Failure to report can result in an asset having zero basis!
- The Subsequent Filing Requirement
- How to complete the new form including reporting:
- Assets with IRD;
- Assets passing to charity; and
- Assets passing to a spouse
