3.11.106.2.3 (01-05-2025) IRS Employee Contacts The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA 98) Section 3705(a), gives identification requirements for all IRS employees working tax-related matters. All IRS employees who communicate by telephone, face-to-face, or any other method of correspondence with taxpayers or their personal representatives on tax-related matters must give (at a minimum) the following information: Telephone Contact - Their title (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss), last name and badge identification (ID Card) number. Toll-free employees should also give their location for identification purposes. Treat faxes to taxpayers on tax-related matters as correspondence and include the required information. Face-to-Face Contact - Their title (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss), give as appropriate during the conversation, their last name and badge identification (ID Card) number. Correspondence (sent to the taxpayer and authorized representatives) - A telephone number that taxpayers can call for answers to questions. In addition, manually generated correspondence must have the employee's title (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss), last name, Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) number, and letter system number, which are systemically generated by IDRS. Treat faxes to taxpayers on tax-related matters as correspondence and include the required information. Correspondex letters - Specific employee name and telephone number if the employee initiating the correspondence is in the best position to respond to any questions the taxpayer may have or if the taxpayer is being asked to give more case-related information. If the taxpayer does not need to contact a specific employee, the correspondence needs only an IRS telephone number and standard signature. When a taxpayer requests to speak with a specific employee who previously worked their inquiry or request, or complains about the level of service previously given, make every attempt to resolve the taxpayer's inquiry. If unable to resolve the issue, refer the inquiry using established procedures to the manager. Secretaries, receptionists, or other people who answer the telephone in functional offices need to identify themselves. They should provide their badge identification (ID Card) number only if they are answering telephones which are routinely used to give tax or account information. It is not necessary to repeat the badge identification (ID Card) number on a subsequent contact, when the nature of an employee's work involves multiple contacts with the same taxpayer and the employee has given the taxpayer (either by telephone or in-person) their badge identification (ID Card) number on the first contact.

Altered Form Altering any or all line items with the intent of facilitating non-compliance with the tax laws. Altered Jurat/Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) 1-207 or UCC 1-308 Return contains income and deductions but the jurat has been altered or stricken, could include reference to UCC 1-207, UCC 1-308 or a statement that the return was not signed under penalties of perjury. Amended Returns/ Form 843 Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement Amended return or a Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement, filed to obtain a total refund of all taxes paid in prior years, based on a tax avoidance argument. C-Filings This frivolous position includes the following 4 categories: Files a return claiming various types of deductions, credits, or overpayments/refunds that have no relation to reality and because of their outrageous character, qualify as frivolous returns. Files a return containing the filers identifying information but does not request a refund, often lacking sufficient information to determine a tax liability. Files a return with various types of rambling dialogue and/or confusing arguments that no one could reasonably view as a good faith attempt to comply with the law. Files a return that attempts to send some type of message or protest to the IRS but fails to include sufficient identifying information for the Service to either determine the identity of the taxpayer or correspondent or return address. Challenges to Authority/Due Process Questions various administrative authorities such as delegation orders, summons authority, privacy act. Argues that they must be afforded a hearing or a trial before taxes can be assessed or before property can be seized. Challenged to Authority/Title 26 or "law" in other documents Argues that Title 26 of the United States Code is not law because it was never enacted as named. Collections Issues Files frivolous documents contending that various collections issues are invalid (e.g., Offers in Compromise, Collection Due Process Requests, Installment Agreements, Appeals Requests.) because they are not filed and/or signed by someone with delegated authority. They may have no certificate of assessment attached, do not comply in form or content with a State or Local law, are not in a certain format or lack a valid OMB (Office of Management and Budget) number or other frivolous positions. Disclaimer Submits a disclaimer stating, "disclaims the liability for the tax due" , making the liability on the return zero.

Not a Person Argues that a taxpayer is not a "person" within the meaning of (IRC) Section 7701(a)(14). Obscene, Vulgar, Harassing Submits documents or other materials indicating that non-filing is due to dissatisfaction with tax policies or taxation in general. Often, this argument is expressed with obscene, vulgar, or crude language and characters in an extremely demeaning manner. Protest Against Government Action/Inaction Argues that refusal to file or pay is justified because they disagree with government policies or spending plans. Sixteenth Amendment Argues the Sixteenth Amendment was not properly ratified and therefore the federal government does not have the legal authority to collect an income tax without apportionment. "Straw Men" Argues the government has created an entity separate and distinct from the taxpayer - a "straw man" and any tax obligations are exclusively those of the "straw man" . Taxes are Voluntary/Law Does Not Require Submits a return, amended return, or correspondence that argues income taxes are voluntary. U.S. v. Long Submits a return with zero money amounts much the same as the "Zero Return" category and "U.S. v. Long" is referenced. (See Note in Zero Returns below.) Unsigned Returns The individual completes a return but fails to sign. A statement indicating disagreement with the tax system is attached or added to the return. Valuation Income is not taxable because of the declining fair market value of the dollar, because the dollar is not backed by gold/silver, because the value of services is offset by the value of the labor (barter income), etc. Zero Returns Submits a return with zero money amounts. A statement is attached claiming there is no section of the Internal Revenue Code that established an income tax liability. The statement may also contain arguments regarding the definition of income.

# Processing Form 706, United States Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return

3.11.106.18 (01-01-2026) Processing Form 706, United States Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return The following information pertains to processing Form 706, United States Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return. Note: Form 706, Page 1, Part I and 2, Page 2, Part II, Page 3 Parts III and IV, Page 4, Parts IV and V, Page 5, Part VI, Sections A, B, C, and D, for 202501 and later, and Page 1, Parts I and II, Page 2, Part IV, Page 3, Part V, and new Page, Part VI have changed for tax year 2012 (PY 2013) per Work Request Notification (WRN) received 6/29/2012. Many new lines have been added as well as new Part VI which contains all of the Portability information. All of these new lines have been requested to be transcribed by E&G Policy, Chief Counsel and Treasury. Because of this transcription request, tax examiners (TE's) will now be responsible for making sure pages 1 through 4 are identified to facilitate transcription entry. If the return is not in sequential order (pages 1, 2, 3, 4), please identify pages 2, 3, and 4 by stapling a Post-It (sticky) with the page number on it within the return. We are using this method so large returns with several pages (perhaps a will or trust) between page 2, 3, and 4 can be identified quickly by ISRP. Stapling the Post-It (sticky) to the respective page will relieve the burden of having to disassemble the returns. In the past, Form 706, was only coded and edited on Page 1 of the return. Beginning in tax year 2013 (PY 2014), Page 4, Part VI, Section C of the return will also need to be coded and edited. Changes were made to the DSUE (Deceased Spousal Unused Exclusion) calculation in a circulation of Form 706, received on September 23, 2013. As a result of the increase in the tax rates under ATRA (American Taxpayer Relief Act), dividing the total gift tax paid or payable by 40% caused an error in the DSUE calculation (due to the increase in the tax rate). More changes were also incorporated into the instructions, specifically the Line 7 worksheet which is submitted with the Form 706, United States Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return (the worksheet is NOT edited or transcribed). Line 2 was changed to "Reserved" , so Code and Edit should edit a zero on Line 2 of Form 706, Page 4, Part VI, Section C. Due to budget constraints, programming was not able to be completed so this is the work around. ISRP is going to be instructed to field release through the line (so "0" will populate on the Error Resolution System (ERS) screens). Error Resolution System (ERS) is instructed to make sure the line shows zero. For 202501 and later Part VI, Section C Line 2 is no longer reserved. Code and Edit is instructed to not enter a zero starting for TY 202501 and later. See Exhibit 3.11.106-1, Form 706, United States Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return, for transcription fields.

If entry does not match the decedent's year of death, edit correct amount. Note: See paragraph 12a below for 2011 and subsequent Form 706 (with a Date of Death in 2011, 2012, etc.). 2011 and subsequent amounts can be greater than table amount because of the Portability election. Allow the greater amount and continue processing. The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 (also known as TRUIRJCA) included provisions affecting the 2011 Form 706 (with a Date of Death in 2011). They include (but are not limited to): The applicable exclusion amount now may consist of (1) a basic exclusion amount of $5,000,000 and, (2) in the case of a surviving spouse, the unused exclusion amount (DSUE), of a predeceased spouse (who died after 12/31/2010). While there is nothing indicated on the 2011 Form 706, the taxpayer is instructed to make a note of the section 2010 election (or state something like, "see statement attached") and attach copies of the predeceased spouse's timely/completed return, even if there was no tax due, to allow the surviving spouse to use the predeceased spouse's unused exclusion amount. Example: Taxpayer husband died 1/3/2011. Taxpayer wife died 8/5/2011. Husband reported estate tax of $607,529, so the unused credit would be $1,123,271. (That's the maximum unified/applicable credit amount of $1,730,800 - $607,529 tax). Wife reports estate tax of $2,044,738 and opts to use the deceased spouse's unused portion of $1,123,271, making the total unified/applicable credit amount $2,854,071.(That's the maximum unified/applicable credit of $1,730,800 + $1,123,271 DSUE, which is more than the estate tax due), thus bringing the total estate tax due to $0.00. If a taxpayer reports a Date of Death in 2012, but files on a 2011 or prior form, edit a "d" to the right of Line 9 and continue processing. Line 9a - (2012 and subsequent) Basic exclusion amount. Accept taxpayer's entry. Line 9b - (2012 and subsequent) Deceased spousal unused exclusion (DSUE) amount from predeceased spouse(s). This figure is carried forward from Part VI - Portability of Deceased Spousal Unused Exclusion, Section D. Line 9c is Restored Exclusion Amount. Accept Taxpayers figures. Line 9d - (2016 and subsequent) Applicable exclusion amount. This figure is the total of Line 9a, Line 9b and Line 9c. Line 9e - (2016 and subsequent) Applicable credit amount. Verify taxpayer's entry on Line 9e with the Unified/Applicable Credit Table below.

Changes were made to the DSUE calculation in a circulation of Form 706 received on September 23, 2013. As a result of the increase in the tax rates under ATRA, dividing the total gift tax paid or payable by 40% caused an error in the DSUE calculation (due to the increase in the tax rate). More changes were also incorporated into the instructions, specifically the Line 7 worksheet which is submitted with the Form 706 (the worksheet is NOT edited or transcribed). Line 2 was changed to "Reserved" , so Code and Edit should edit a zero on Line 2 of Form 706 Page 4, Part VI, Section C. Due to budget constraints, programming was not able to be completed so this is the work around. ISRP is going to be instructed to field release through the line (so) "0" will populate on the Error Resolution System (ERS) screens.

# Processing Form 709, United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return

3.11.106.23 (01-01-2025) Processing Form 709, United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return New transcription has been requested for processing year 2013 and subsequent. Staple a Post-It (sticky) to pages 1 through 5 in sequential order to facilitate transcription entry. New transcription has been requested for processing year 2014 and subsequent. Staple a Post-It (sticky) to pages 1 through 10 in sequential order to facilitate transcription entry. We are using this method so large returns with several pages (perhaps a will or trust) between page 1 through 5 can be identified quickly by Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP). Stapling the Post-It (sticky) to the respective page will relieve the burden of having to disassemble the returns. A tax is imposed on the lifetime transfer of property by an individual. It is imposed upon the donor, the person making the transfer. The chief purpose of the gift tax is to deter the making of gifts to avoid estate taxes. Before December 31, 1976, gift tax rates were only three-fourths of estate tax rates; however, there is now a unified rate for both taxes. A gift is a voluntary transfer of property by one to another without consideration or compensation. The tax law applies when the donor has parted with possession and control and has no power to change the disposition. Only individuals are required to file gift tax returns. If a trust, estate, partnership, or corporation makes gifts to the individual beneficiaries, partners, or stockholders, they are considered donors and may be liable for gift tax.

A generation-skipping tax return containing only the taxpayer's name and reference to various constitutional provisions which are said to excuse filing a return are considered invalid, "no-entry returns" , and are treated as unprocessables.

# Processing Form 706-QDT, U.S. Estate Tax Return for Qualified Domestic Trusts

3.11.106.28 (01-01-2017) Processing Form 706-QDT, U.S. Estate Tax Return for Qualified Domestic Trusts The following information pertains to Form 706-QDT,

# Background for Form 706-QDT

3.11.106.28.1 (01-01-2018) Background for Form 706-QDT Form 706-QDT, is based on (IRC) Sections 2056(d) and 2056A enacted by the Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988 (TAMRA) and amended by the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1989. The QDT rules are effective for the estates of decedent's dying after November 10, 1988. Before TAMRA, an Estate Tax Marital Deduction was allowed for the estate of a U.S. citizen or resident alien decedent regardless of the citizenship of the surviving spouse. The deduction was not allowed (except by Treaty) when the decedent was a non-resident alien. TAMRA added (IRC) Section 2056(d) which generally disallows the marital deduction when the surviving spouse is not a U.S. citizen, regardless of the status of the decedent spouse. However, (IRC) Section 2056(d) allows the marital deduction in such a case provided the assets pass to a "Qualified Domestic Trust" (QDT). The Trustee or Designated Filer of a QDT uses Form 706-QDT, to figure and report the estate tax due on certain distributions from the QDT and on the value of the property remaining in the QDT on the date of the surviving spouses death. A "Qualified Domestic Trust" applies only in those situations where a decedent's surviving spouse is not a U.S. citizen. Form 706-QDT, are filed and processed at KCSPC. Statute Concerns: If the return is received two years and nine months after the due date, follow procedures in IRM 3.11.106.10.10.1, Statute Returns. Exception: Do not edit CCC's and Action Codes they are not valid for this form.

# Definitions - Qualified Domestic Trust

3.11.106.28.2 (01-01-2017) Definitions - Qualified Domestic Trust A "Qualified Domestic Trust" (QDT) is any trust that qualified for an estate tax marital deduction under (IRC) Section 2056 and also meets the following requirements: The trust instrument requires that at least one trustee be a citizen of the United States or a domestic corporation. The trust instrument requires that no distribution from the trust be made unless the trustee has the right to withhold from the distribution of corpus the QDT tax imposed on the distribution. The QDT election of IRC Section 2056A(d) has been made for trust by the Executor of the estate of the decedent. The requirements of all applicable regulations have been met. A "Taxable Event" is any of the following: Any distribution from a QDT before the death of the surviving spouse, except distributions of income to the surviving spouse and any distributions made to the surviving spouse on account of hardship. The death of the surviving spouse. The failure of the trust to qualify as a QDT. A "Surviving Spouse" is the surviving spouse of the decedent who is also the beneficiary of the decedent's QDT.

# Due Date - Form 706-QDT

# Processing Form 709-NA, United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return of Nonresident Not a Citizen of the United States

3.11.106.29 (01-01-2026) Processing Form 709-NA, United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return of Nonresident Not a Citizen of the United States Staple a Post-It (sticky) to pages 1 through 8 in sequential order to facilitate transcription entry for tax year 2024 and subsequent. We are using this method so large returns with several pages (perhaps a will or trust) between page 1 through 8 can be identified quickly by Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP). Stapling the Post-It (sticky) to the respective page will relieve the burden of having to disassemble the returns. A tax is imposed on the lifetime transfer of property by an individual. It is imposed upon the donor, the person making the transfer. The chief purpose of the gift tax is to deter the making of gifts to avoid estate taxes. A gift is a voluntary transfer of property by one individual to another without consideration or compensation. The tax law applies when the donor has parted with possession and control and has no power to change the disposition. Only individuals are required to file gift tax returns. Note: If Form 709-NA is filed with an EIN, do not process. See Exhibit 3.11.106-19, Form 709-NA, United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return of Nonresident Not a Citizen of the United States, for transcription fields.
