Minnesota 6166 Computation 3

 

Minnesota 6166 Computation 3, Comment 1:  This computation example is loosely based on McNeely v. United States, but with a 2016 date of death and several other additional factors.

 

 Minnesota 6166 Computation 3
2016 Date of Death
May-10-2016 Date of Death.
Feb-10-2017 Federal Form 4768 filed requesting an extension of time to file and an extension of time to pay, with a similar request filed with Minnesota.
  $18,000,000.00 - Federal estate tax paid for the estimated amount of tax that will not be deferred under the projected section 6166 election.
  $8,000,000.00 - Minnesota estate tax paid for the estimated amount of tax that will not be deferred under the projected Minnesota section 6166 election.
Aug-10-2017 Federal and Minnesota estate tax return and section 6166 election filing dates. The 6166 election statements show that there were overpayments of Federal and Minnesota non-deferred estate taxes on the estate tax return due dates.
Feb-10-2022 First installment due dates under the section 6166 elections.
Adjusted Taxable Gifts
$34,266,000.00 Adjusted taxable gifts on Line 4, page 1, Form 706.
$11,534,400.00 Line 7 gift tax paid or payable at 2016 rates.

 

Minnesota 6166 Computation 3, Comment 2:  There are adjusted taxable gifts reported on the estate tax return. The estate must therefore prepare a §6166(k)(5) and §2035(c)(2) secondary §6166(b)(6) adjusted gross estate computation to determine if the closely held business value exceeds 35% of the modified adjusted gross estate. If it does exceed 35%, the estate will be permitted to make the regular §6166 election.

  Federal Estate Tax Return Values §6166 Interests Gifted Within 3 Years of D/D Total Gifts Within 3 Years of D/D §6166(k)(5) and §2035(c)(2) Secondary Values
(a) (b) (c)
(a) + (b) divided by
(a) + (c)
1 §6166 closely held business value 195,000,000.00 0.00   195,000,000.00
2 §6166(b)(6) adjusted gross estate 239,119,400.00   20,000,000.00 259,119,400.00
3 §6166(a)(2) ratios for the maximum amount of tax which may be paid in installments - line 1 divided by line 2 0.815492     0.752549
Conclusion:   The §6166(a)(2) ratios exceed 35% of the adjusted gross estate both before and after considering the gifts made by the decedent within 3 years of the date of death. Gifts of any §6166 interests (before any annual exclusions) are included in the numerator of the fraction, and all gifts made within 3 years of the date of death (before any annual exclusions) are included in the denominator. A regular §6166 election can therefore be made in this example. Only the figures reported on the estate tax return are to be used in calculating the tax to be paid in installments. This presentation follows the formula set out in PLR 8527003.

Minnesota 6166 Computation 3, Comment 4:  The Federal and Minnesota estate tax returns were filed on their extended return due dates 6 months after the regular return due dates. Interest on Minnesota estate tax was accrued on the return filing dates (but is not payable (with additional interest) until the 1st anniversary date). Such interest is allowable in full as a deduction on Schedule J of the Federal estate tax return and could have been deducted in these return filing computations. However, we are assuming here that the estate will file supplemental estate tax returns in the near future to claim such interest as a deduction.
