The Gift Tax Return (Form 709) and the Estate Tax Return (Form 706) document your estate planning and provide the “Paper Trail” for the IRS and state departments of revenue. Most of the estate planning techniques must be reported on these tax returns.

Use Form 1310 to claim a refund on behalf of a deceased taxpayer.
