Extension of time in which to file:
Inheritance Tax Return
Extension Requested for ________________ months
Estate Tax Return
Extension Requested for ________________ months
(Both requests may be made on one form)
Inheritance Tax returns are due 8 months following the death of the decedent. An extension may be initially requested for
a period of up to 4 months beyond the original due date. If it is not possible to file the return within the 4 month extension
period, an additional 2 month extension may be requested. Extensions beyond 6 months from the original due date of the
return will be granted only in cases where the Director determines that exceptional circumstances exist.
Estate Tax returns (except returns filed using the Form 706 method which are due 9 months plus 30 days following the
death of the decedent) are due 9 months following the death of the decedent. An extension may be requested for a period
up to 6 months beyond the original due date. Extensions beyond 6 months from the original due date of the return will be
granted only in cases where the Director determines that exceptional circumstances exist.
IMPORTANT:
An extension of time to file does not extend the time to pay. Interest accrues on any unpaid Inheritance
Tax ultimately determined to be due from 8 months after the decedent’s date of death and on any
unpaid Estate Tax ultimately determined to be due from 9 months after the decedent’s date of death in
accordance with the applicable statutes.
