When Is A New Jersey Estate Tax Return Required And When Is It Due?
|
A New Jersey Estate Tax Return is required when the gross estate plus prior taxable gifts are in excess of $675,000. Even though a spouse can pass an unlimited amount to his or her spouse during life or at death, the assets left to a spouse at death do count as part of the gross estate and can thereby necessitate the filing of a New Jersey estate tax return even when all assets are left to a surviving spouse. The New Jersey Estate Tax Return is due within 9 months of the date of death. |
