Extension of time 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 periods, 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 eight 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.  An
extension will not prevent the estate from receiving computer generated delinquent notices.

Certification:
Under penalties of perjury, I declare that to the best of my knowledge and belief, the statements made herein are true and correct.
