- Press the ‘Get Form’ button to retrieve the form and access it in your preferred editor.
- In Part I, enter the decedent's first and middle initials, last name, and date of death. Then, provide the name of the executor and, if applicable, the name of the person filing on behalf of the executor. Include the decedent's social security number and the executor's address, indicating the number, street, and suite number if any, as well as the decedent's domicile information, including the county, state, and ZIP code.
- Complete the estate tax return due date and provide the daytime telephone number of the executor. Select the specific form for which you are requesting an extension — Form 706, Form 706-A, Form 706-NA, or Form 706-QDT.
- If applying for an automatic 6-month extension of time to file, check the corresponding box. If the deadline has passed and you are seeking an extension for cause, check the appropriate box and attach a statement providing detailed reasons for the late request.
- If you are an executor outside the country and require a further extension beyond the automatic extension, check the relevant box and attach a statement explaining your circumstances.
- In Part III, describe the reasons for requesting an extension of time to pay estate taxes. You must attach a written statement explaining why it is impractical to pay the full amount by the due date, and include estimated amounts for the estate and GST taxes in Part IV.
- Once all entries are completed, review the form for accuracy. Save the changes made, and when ready, you can download, print, or share the completed form as necessary.
