PENNSYLVANIA INHERITANCE TAX RETURN

A MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY...

This comprehensive instruction booklet is designed to provide the information necessary to complete the

Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax Return for the estates of most nonresident decedents. The Quick Reference Sheet

has been included just inside the cover to provide tax and interest rates, due dates, and other facts commonly

needed at your fingertips. The new Documentation Checklist has been developed to encourage filing a

complete tax return, and to help eliminate time-consuming correspondence after the tax return has been filed.

Other changes include the reduction of the lineal and sibling tax rates from six and fifteen percent to four and

one-half and twelve percent, respectively. In addition, the tax rates for transfers from a child who was age 21,

or younger, at the date of death to a natural parent, adoptive parent, or a stepparent has been reduced to zero

percent. The Inheritance Tax Division is committed to providing courteous, timely, and accurate service to the
