Definitions
Who Must File
The qualified heir must file Form 706-A
if there was any taxable event (see
Taxable Events, later) with respect to
the specially valued property even if no
tax is ultimately due. Further, the
qualified heir must file Form 706-A if
there was any involuntary conversion or
exchange of the specially valued
property even if the conversion or
exchange is nontaxable.
Specially valued property. The term
“specially valued property” means farm
or closely held business property that
the executor elected to value at actual
use rather than fair market value (FMV)
(defined on page 3). The executor
makes the election on Form 706, United
States Estate (and Generation-Skipping
Transfer) Tax Return, filed for the
decedent. Specially valued property
refers to the qualified real property
described in section 2032A and

Cessation of qualified use. The
specially valued real property must be
used as a farm for farming purposes, or
used in a trade or business other than
the trade or business of farming. For
more details, see the Instructions for
Form 706.
The qualified use ceases if the
specially valued real property is not
used for the qualified use described
earlier. Use of the property as a farm or
other business is also considered to
cease if, during any 8-year period that
ends after the decedent's death, there
were periods totaling more than 3 years
during which:
1. Neither the decedent nor any
member of the decedent's family
materially participated in the operation
of the farm or other business (while the
decedent held the property), and
Qualified heir. The term “qualified
heir” means, for any property, a member
of the decedent's family who acquired
the property (or to whom the property
passes) from the decedent. If a qualified
heir disposes of any interest in qualified
real property to any member of his or
her family, that member shall thereafter
be treated as the qualified heir for the
interest.
If qualified heirs receive successive
interests in specially valued property
(for example, a life estate and
remainder interests), the material
participation requirement does not end
for any part of the property until the later
of the expiration of the recapture period
or the death of the last qualified heir.

In determining whether the required
participation has occurred, disregard

which there was no material

Election to increase basis. A
qualified heir may elect to increase the

a taxable event (as defined earlier)
occurs. If this election is made, the
basis of the property shall increase to

decedent's date of death (or alternate

specially valued property.
If the decedent was retired or
disabled before death, there are special
rules for applying the 8-year period to
paragraph (1) above. See section
2032A(b)(4) and the Instructions for
Form 706.
Disposition to family member. A
disposition of an interest in property to a
family member of the qualified heir is a
taxable event that must be reported on
Form 706-A. If the transferee enters into
an agreement to be personally liable for
any additional tax under section
Member of family. The term “member
of the family” includes only:
2032A(c), the disposition is nontaxable
and you should enter it on Schedule C.
If the family member does not enter
into the agreement, the disposition is
taxable and you should enter it on
Schedule A.
Disposition of timber. If the executor
made a qualified woodlands election
(section 2032A(e)(13)(A)), the
disposition or severing of timber from
the woodland is a disposition of a
portion of the interest in the property.
The disposition of a right to sever is
treated as a disposition of the standing
timber.

that the executor reported on the Form

For the 2 years immediately following
the date of the decedent's death, the
failure by the qualified heir to begin

not be considered a cessation of

Involuntary conversions of qualified real

Column D. If the qualified heir
disposed of the specially valued
property in an arm's length transaction,
report in column D the amount realized.
You may file Form 706-A for only one
qualified heir. If a disposition, cessation,
involuntary conversion, or exchange
involves more than one qualified heir,
each heir must file a separate Form
706-A.
Arm's length transaction. An arm's
length transaction is a transaction where
there is no bargain or gift element for
affection or other reasons.

heirs, whether or not they made an
election, for involuntary conversions and
exchanges occurring after 1981.

Amount realized. The amount
realized is the sum of the money
received plus the FMV of property (other
than money) received. For the real
property taxes that must be taken into
account, see section 1001(b).
If the qualified heir owned only a part
of the specially valued property, report
in column D the pro rata share of the
amount realized that is allocable to the
part owned by the qualified heir.
If the specially valued property is
disposed of by the qualified heir in other
than an arm's length transaction, or if
the qualified use is discontinued by the
qualified heir, report in column D the
FMV of the specially valued property as
of the date of disposition or cessation of
