Introduction
This report provides a statistical profile of estate tax returns processed by
the Department of Taxation and Finance between April 1, 1995 and
March 31, 1996. During this period, the Department processed
approximately 29,700 Form ET-90 returns. In addition to cataloging data
contained on tax returns, in certain cases the Department made
adjustments to correct for mathematical and other errors.
This study provides information on types and amounts of 1) assets,
2) deductions, 3) credits, and 4) tax liability. It also provides
distributional detail on these items. Most of the tables classify estates by
size of New York gross estate. Appendix A contains a glossary of key
terms contained in this report.
Description of Tax New York imposes a unified estate and gift tax that, for the most part,
conforms to the federal unified estate and gift tax. Gifts made after 1982
are taxed using the tax rates applicable to total accumulated gifts. A
credit applies for tax previously paid or payable on these gifts. As a
result, persons making gifts over many years are subject to increasingly
higher graduated tax rates.
New York taxes the estate, plus the sum of all taxable gifts, and allows a
credit for previous gift tax paid. This credit ensures that no double
taxation occurs. The unified system effectively imposes a greater
amount of total tax on two estates of the same size in cases where one
estate has a higher amount of prior lifetime gifts than the other.
Since 1983, New York has followed the federal treatment that provides a
full exclusion for transfers to spouses. New York also follows the
federal provisions relating to special valuation of certain farm and
closely-held business property, and for deferral of tax on such property.
Tax is computed using Form ET-90. Appendix B contains a copy of this
form. The computation of estate tax begins with federal gross estate,
1995-96 Estate TaxPage 2
which includes both New York assets and nontaxable, non-New York
assets. Federal deductions for such items as spousal transfers, bequests
to charities, decedents’ debts, and death expenses, are permitted in
determining the taxable estate.
In addition, a State deduction for up to $250,000 of the decedent’s
principal residence applies. This provision took effect for estates of
individuals who died after June 7, 1995. Therefore, it applies to only a
portion (fewer than 5 percent) of the estate tax returns contained in this
study.
Adding adjusted taxable gifts results in preliminary tentative tax base.
The taxpayer then computes a tentative tax, using a tax rate schedule
ranging from 2 percent on the first $50,000 to 21 percent on taxable
amounts in excess of $10.1 million. The unified credit of as much as
$2,950 is then subtracted. This credit serves to exempt estates plus
taxable gifts of under $115,000 from tax. The credit phases down dollar-
for-dollar with tax liability, to a $500 minimum. The result, net
preliminary tentative tax, is then multiplied by a percentage equal to the
ratio of New York property to total property. This ensures that no tax is
imposed on non-New York real and tangible property, or on nonresident
decedents’ intangible property.
The above computation results in tentative tax. Certain credits against
tentative tax then apply. These include credits for:
!gift tax paid or payable on post-1982 gifts,
!agricultural exemption,
!certain closely held business property,
!estate tax on prior transfers, and
!gift tax paid on pre-1983 gifts.
After subtraction of available credits, New York net estate tax results,
unless the minimum tax is higher. New York uses the federal credit for
state death taxes as a minimum tax. If tax liability is less than the credit,
then the credit becomes the tax liability. Failure to maintain the credit as
1995-96 Estate Tax Page 3
a minimum tax would effectively increase the estate’s federal tax
liability. This is because the federal credit for state death taxes equals
the greater of an amount prescribed by a rate schedule, or tax actually
paid. Using the federal death tax credit as a minimum tax, therefore,
minimizes the estate’s federal tax.
As for federal purposes, the estate tax return, Form ET-90, is due within
nine months of the decedent’s death. However, to avoid interest, 90
percent of the tax is due within six months. For this reason, many returns
are also filed within six months, despite the nine-month due date.
Recent Law Changes Legislation enacted in 1994 increased the maximum unified credit from
$2,750 to $2,950, thereby increasing the exemption equivalent from
$108,333 to $115,000. This legislation also provided a new credit equal
to 5 percent of the first $15 million of assets in a closely-held business.
This maximum credit of $750,000 reduces the tax burden on the transfer
of small businesses to heirs upon an owner’s death. In effect, small
businesses valued at less than $600,000 do not create an estate tax
liability.
Legislation adopted in 1995 provides a new deduction equal to a
maximum of $250,000 of assets representing equity in the decedent’s
principal residence. By reducing the tax on such assets, it facilitates the
transfer of homes from decedents to their heirs. The principal residence
deduction, combined with the unified credit, allows up to $365,000 of
assets to be exempt from tax.
Description of Data in
This Study
The information in this study comes from all estate tax returns which the
Tax Department processed during the 1995 New York State fiscal year.
Unlike previous estate tax studies prepared by the Office of Tax Policy
Analysis, it does not come from a sample of “closed” estates. The term
“closed estate” referred to an estate that fully underwent valuation and
audit, and satisfied all tax obligations, including deferrals and
installments.
This study also includes some returns that will eventually be adjusted,
either upon audit or due to additional verification procedures used by the
Tax Department. However, only a small share of processed returns will
eventually have a different tax liability than that initially reported on the
return.
1995-96 Estate TaxPage 4
This study includes returns that were taxed under different years of tax
provisions. In fact, about 5 percent of all returns are for decedents who
died before 1993. Thus, even though recent law changes have been
relatively minor in nature, users of this study should use caution in
attempting to relate data to a particular estate tax law.
In addition, although this study covers returns processed between April 1,
1995 and March 31, 1996, these returns do not reflect actual fiscal year
1996 estate tax collections. Estate tax collections reflect payments
received from several different years of Tax Law, and from several
different years of decedents’ death. They also include the effects of audit
revenue paid to the Tax Department, and refunds paid by the Tax
Department.
Many estates have taxable gifts upon which gift tax was previously paid.
The gift tax is paid annually, and applies to all gifts made during the
year, after an annual exclusion of up to $10,000 per donee. Tax is then
computed using the same rates and unified credit applicable for the estate
tax. This report includes only estate tax returns, and therefore does not
provide gift tax information. However, it does include information for
gifts upon which gift tax was previously paid and includible in the
decedent’s estate.
Tables Contained in
This Study
The following tables provide statistical information on estate tax returns
processed during the 1995-96 State fiscal year. In addition to overall
summary tables, the information is grouped by:
!decedents’ county of residence,
!estate tax liability,
!decedents’ year of death,
!size of gross estate,
!size of net (taxable) estate, and
!situs (New York and total) of assets.

Adjusted Gross
Estate
The federal gross estate after certain minor additions and subtractions. It
includes assets without a situs in New York.
Processed Return A Form ET-90 which the Tax Department has processed and to which it
has made minor adjustments, usually to correct math and entry errors. In
nearly all cases, the computed liability is final. However, a small portion
of processed returns might eventually be subject to audit.
Form ET-90 The basic estate tax return, with supporting schedules, used by estates of
decedents who died after May 25, 1990.
Gross Estate Federal gross estate minus real and tangible personal property having an
actual situs outside New York, plus/minus certain other minor
modifications.
Minimum Tax The tax computed using the federal credit for state death taxes. If it
exceeds otherwise-computed tax, it becomes the estate’s tax liability.
Net Estate Taxable estate plus adjusted taxable gifts. This is also known as the
preliminary tentative tax base, to which the tax rate schedule is applied.
Nonresident Estate The estate of a decedent who at death was not a resident of New York.
Resident Estate The estate of a decedent who at death was a resident of New York.
Residency is determined by domicile.
Surviving Spouse Where the decedent has a surviving spouse, all transfers to the spouse are
exempt from tax.
1995-96 Estate TaxPage A-2
Taxable Base The sum of the adjusted taxable estate plus adjusted taxable gifts.
Taxable base is used to determine tax with the tax rate schedule.
However, the result, after subtracting the unified credit does not equal
tax before credits, because it is then multiplied by the ratio of New York
gross estate to New York adjusted gross estate to ensure that non-New
York assets are not taxed.
Unified Credit A credit which offsets tax dollar for dollar and creates an exemption
level below which no tax is due. It decreases dollar for dollar with tax
liability to a $500 minimum.
