What You Need to Know to Avoid Liability, Penalties and Late Fees!

The IRS and Treasury recently released a new set of complex proposed regulations on estate tax deductions which substantially modify the regulatory provisions surrounding the deduction of claims, expenses and interest for estate tax purposes.

Any attorney or CPA reviewing and signing 706’s must take the time to fully understand the impact of these new proposed regulations. There is one new provision alone that significantly increases the practitioner’s risk when preparing or reviewing an estate tax return.
