General Instructions  
Purpose of Form  
Form 706-NA is used to compute estate and  
generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax liability for  
nonresident not a citizen (NRNC) decedents. The estate  
tax is imposed on the transfer of the decedent's taxable  
estate rather than on the receipt of any part of it.  
For information about transfer certificates for U.S.  
assets, write to the following address.

Definitions  
Internal Revenue Service  
Attn: E&G, Stop 824G  
7940 Kentucky Drive  
The following definitions apply in these instructions.  
United States. The United States means the 50 states  
Florence, KY 41042-2915  
and the District of Columbia.  
Domicile. For estate tax purposes, a person acquires  
domicile in a place by living there, for even a brief period  
of time, with no definite present intention of later moving.  
For this purpose, the United States includes only the  
states and the District of Columbia. See Regulations  
section 20.0-1 for more information.  
Nonresident not a citizen (NRNC) of the United  
States. For estate tax purposes, a decedent is an NRNC  
of the United States if the decedent is neither domiciled in  
nor a citizen of the United States at the time of death. A  
decedent who acquired U.S. citizenship solely by reason  
of being a citizen of a U.S. territory or by reason of birth or  
residence within a U.S. territory is not treated as a U.S.  
citizen.  
Note. In order to complete this return, you must obtain  
Form 706, United States Estate (and Generation-Skipping  
Transfer) Tax Return, and its instructions. You must attach  
schedules from Form 706 if you intend to claim a marital  
deduction, a charitable deduction, a qualified  
conservation easement exclusion, or a credit for tax on  
prior transfers, or if you answer “Yes” to question 5, 7, 8,  
9a, 9b, or 11 in Part III. General Information. You will need  
the Instructions for Form 706 to explain how to value  
stocks and bonds. Make sure that you use the version of  
Form 706 that corresponds to the date of the decedent's  
death.  
Consistent Basis Reporting  
Estates are required to report to the IRS and the recipient  
the estate tax value of each asset included in the gross  
estate within 30 days of filing Form 706-NA, or earlier if  
the return is filed late. The basis of certain assets when  
sold or otherwise disposed of must be consistent with the  
basis (estate tax value) of the asset when it was received  
Note. A decedent may be a U.S. resident for income tax  
purposes yet be considered a nonresident for estate tax  
purposes.  
Long-term U.S. resident. A long-term U.S. resident is  
an individual (other than a U.S. citizen) who has been a  
Sep 19, 2022  
Cat. No. 63118N  
   
lawful permanent resident of the United States (green  
card holder) for income tax purposes in at least 8 of the  
last 15 tax years ending with the tax year in which U.S.  
income tax residency is terminated. See section 877(e) for  
more information.  
Executor. An executor is the personal representative,  
executor, executrix, administrator, or administratrix of the  
deceased person's estate. If no executor is appointed,  
qualified, and acting in the United States, every person in  
actual or constructive possession of any of the decedent's  
property must file a return. If more than one person must  
file, it is preferable that they join in filing one complete  
return. Otherwise, each must file as complete a return as  
possible, including a full description of the property and  
each person's name who holds an interest in it.  
Executors must provide documentation proving their  
status. Documentation will vary but may include a certified  
copy of the will or a court order designating the  
executor(s). A statement by the executor(s) attesting to  
their status is insufficient.  
U.S. expatriate. Special estate tax rules may apply to  
decedents who expatriated from the United States prior to  
death. For these purposes, both U.S. citizens who  
relinquished their citizenship and long-term residents who  
have surrendered their green card or taken a position  
under a tax treaty that they are solely a resident of the  
other country, are treated as expatriates.  
For decedents who expatriated prior to June 17, 2008,  
and were still subject to the 10-year alternative tax regime  
of section 877(b) on the date of death, the rules in section  
2107 apply to determine the value of the decedent’s U.S.  
taxable estate. For decedents who expatriated on or after  
June 17, 2008, and were “covered expatriates” on the  
date of death, as defined in section 877A(g)(1), the rules  
in section 2107 do not apply, but the rules of section 2801  
may apply. So decedents who expatriated on or after  
June 17, 2008, are generally subject to U.S. estate tax as  
all other NRNC decedents, and the references to “U.S.  
expatriate” in these instructions refer only to decedents  
who expatriated prior to June 17, 2008. See the  
sections 877 and 2107 and Form 8854 as they existed in  
the relevant tax year for additional information.  
Who Must File  
The executor must file Form 706-NA if the date of death  
value of the decedent’s U.S.-situated assets, together  
with the gift tax specific exemption and the amount of  
adjusted taxable gifts, exceeds the filing threshold of  
$60,000. The gift tax specific exemption refers to the  
amount allowed for gifts made by the decedent between  
September 9, 1976, and December 31, 1976, inclusive.  
The amount of adjusted taxable gifts refers to the amount  
of adjusted taxable gifts made by the decedent after  
December 31, 1976.  
When To File  
File Form 706-NA within 9 months after the date of death  
unless an extension of time to file was granted.  
If you are unable to file Form 706-NA by the due date,  
use Form 4768, Application for Extension of Time To File  
a Return and/or Pay U.S. Estate (and  
Generation-Skipping Transfer) Taxes, to apply for an  
automatic 6-month extension of time to file. If you have  
already received a 6-month extension and are an  
executor who is out of the country, you may apply for an  
additional extension of time to file by filing a second Form  
4768 and completing the form and attaching a written  
statement of explanation as instructed. For both  
extensions, check the “Form 706-NA” box in Part II of  
Form 4768.  
Private delivery services (PDSs). You can use certain  
PDSs designated by the IRS to meet the "timely mailing  
as timely filing/paying" rule for tax returns and payments.  
Go to IRS.gov/PDS for the current list of designated  
services.

lost U.S. citizenship or long-term resident status within 10  
years of death and prior to June 17, 2008, but you  
maintain that avoiding U.S. taxes was not a principal  
purpose for the decedent's loss of citizenship or  
residency, attach documents to sustain your position. See  
Definitions, earlier.  
Determining where assets are located. Unless a treaty  
provides otherwise (see Death Tax Treaties, earlier), use  
the following rules to determine whether assets are  
located in the United States.  
Real estate and tangible personal property. Real  
estate and tangible personal property are located in the  
United States if they are physically located there.

Note. An exception is made for works of art that are  
owned by an NRNC decedent and are located within the  
United States, if on the date of death the works of art are:  
Imported solely for public exhibition,  
On loan to a nonprofit public gallery or museum, and  
On exhibition or en route to or from exhibition.  
Stock. Generally, no matter where stock certificates  
are physically located, stock of corporations organized in  
or under U.S. law is property located in the United States,  
and all other corporate stock is property located outside  
the United States.  
Stock in a regulated investment company (RIC).  
For an NRNC decedent who died after 2004 and before  
2012, a portion of stock in a RIC is treated as property  
located outside the United States in the proportion of the  
RIC's qualifying assets in relation to the total assets  
owned by the RIC at the end of the quarter immediately  
preceding the decedent's death.  
Schedule A. Gross Estate in the  
United States  
Before you complete Schedule A, you must determine  
what assets are included in the decedent's entire gross  
estate, wherever located. However, list on Schedule A  
only those assets located in the United States. Enter the  
total value of assets located outside the United States on  
line 2 of Schedule B.  
Entire gross estate. The entire gross estate is figured  
the same way for an NRNC decedent as for a U.S. citizen  
or resident. It consists of all property the decedent  
beneficially owned, wherever located, and includes the  
following property interests.  
Qualifying assets are assets that, if owned directly by  
the decedent, would have been:  
Bank deposits and amounts described in section  
871(i)(3),  
Generally, the full value of property the decedent  
owned at the time of death as a joint tenant with right  
of survivorship (but if the surviving spouse is a U.S.  
citizen, then only half the value of property held by the  
decedent and surviving spouse either as joint tenants  
with right of survivorship or as tenants by the entirety).  
For exceptions, see the Instructions for Form 706,  
Schedule E.  
Portfolio debt obligations,  
Certain original issue discount obligations,  
Debt obligations of a U.S. corporation that are treated  
as giving rise to foreign source income, and

on the decedent's life are property located outside the  
United States.  
Property the decedent and a surviving spouse owned  
as community property to the extent of the decedent's  
interest in the property under applicable state,  
possession, or foreign law.  
Debt obligations within United States. Debt  
obligations are generally property located in the United  
States if they are debts of a U.S. citizen or resident, a  
domestic partnership or corporation, a domestic estate or  
trust, the United States, a state or state's political  
subdivision, or the District of Columbia.  
A surviving spouse's dower or curtesy interest and all  
substitute interests created by statute.  
Proceeds of insurance on the decedent's life,  
generally including proceeds receivable by  
beneficiaries other than the estate.  
Several kinds of transfers the decedent made before  
death.  
-4-  
Instructions for Form 706-NA (Rev. 10-2022)  
   
Debt obligations outside United States. The  
following debt obligations are generally treated as located  
outside the United States.  
Give the main exchange for listed stock. For unlisted  
stock, give the post office address of the main business  
office of the corporation, the state in which incorporated,  
and the incorporation date.  
Debt obligations (whether registered or unregistered)  
issued after July 18, 1984, if the interest on them  
would be eligible for tax exemption under section  
871(h)(1) had such interest been received by the  
decedent at the time of the decedent’s death.  
However, if the debt earns contingent interest, some  
or all of it may be considered property in the United  
States (section 2105(b)(3)).  
Bonds. In bond descriptions, include:  
The quantity and denomination,  
Obligor's name,  
Maturity date,  
Interest rate,  
Each date when interest is payable,  
Nine-digit CUSIP number, and  
Series number (if more than one issue).  
Certain short-term original issue discount debt  
obligations.  
Give the exchange where the bond is listed. If it is  
See section 2105(b)(4) for details.  
unlisted, give the corporation's main business office.  
CUSIP number. The CUSIP (Committee on Uniform  
Security Identification Procedures) number is a nine-digit  
number that is assigned to all stocks and bonds traded on  
major exchanges and many unlisted securities. Usually,  
the CUSIP number is printed on the face of the stock  
certificate. If you do not have a stock certificate, the  
CUSIP number may be found on the broker's or  
custodian's statement or by contacting the company's  
transfer agent.  
Schedules E, G, or H. If you are required to file  
Schedule E, G, or H from Form 706, you do not need to  
enter the assets reported on those schedules on  
Schedule A of this Form 706-NA. Instead, attach the  
schedules to Form 706-NA, in column (b) enter “Total  
from Schedule __, Form 706,” and enter the total values  
from the attached schedules in either column (d) or (e).  
Deposits. The following deposits are treated as  
located outside the United States if they are not effectively  
connected with conducting a trade or business within the  
United States.  
A deposit with a U.S. bank or a U.S. banking branch of  
a foreign corporation.  
A deposit or withdrawable account with a savings and  
loan association chartered and supervised under  
federal or state law.  
An amount held by a U.S. insurance company under  
an agreement to pay interest.  
A deposit in a foreign branch of a U.S. bank.  
If an asset is included in the total gross estate because  
the decedent owned it at the time of death, apply the  
above location rules as of the date of the decedent's  
death. However, if an asset is included in the decedent's  
total gross estate under one of the transfer provisions  
(sections 2035, 2036, 2037, and 2038), it is treated as  
located in the United States if it fulfills these rules either at  
the time of the transfer or at the time of death.  
Property valuation date. Generally, property must be  
valued as of the date of death. Columns (c) and (d) do not  
apply in this case, and you may use the space to expand  
descriptions from column (b).  
For example, if an item of tangible personal property  
was physically located in the United States on the date of  
a section 2038 transfer but had been moved outside the  
United States at the time of the decedent's death, the item  
would be considered still located in the United States and  
should be listed on Schedule A.  
If the decedent was a U.S. expatriate subject to 877(b)  
at the time of death, the decedent is treated as owning a  
prorated share of the U.S. property held by a foreign  
corporation in which the decedent directly or indirectly  
owned at least 10% of the voting stock and, directly,  
indirectly, or constructively, owned more than 50% of the  
stock by vote or value (section 2107(b)).  
However, you may elect to use the alternate valuation  
date. To make this election, check the “Yes” box at the  
beginning of Schedule A. If you do so, the election applies  
to all property, and you will need to complete each column  
in Schedule A. Under this election, any property  
distributed, sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed of  
within 6 months after the decedent's death is valued as of  
the date of the disposition. Any property not disposed of  
during that period is valued as of the date 6 months after  
the decedent's death.  
You may not elect alternate valuation unless the  
election will decrease both the value of the gross estate  
and the net estate tax due after application of all allowable  
credits.  
Describe the property on Schedule A in enough detail  
to enable the IRS to identify it. To determine the fair  
market value of stocks and bonds, use the rules in the  
Instructions for Form 706, Schedule B—Stocks and  
Bonds.  
Qualified Conservation Easement Exclusion  
Under section 2031(c), you may elect to exclude a portion  
of the value of land that is subject to a qualified  
conservation easement. You make the election by  
attaching Schedule U of Form 706 with all the required  
information. To elect the exclusion, you must include on  
Schedule A:  
Stocks. In descriptions of stock, include:  
The corporation's name;  
The number of shares;  
Whether common or preferred (if preferred, what  
issue);  
1. The decedent's interest in the land that is subject to  
the exclusion, and  
The par value (when needed for identification);  
Nine-digit CUSIP number (defined later); and  
The quotation at which reported.  
2. Exclude the applicable value of the land (amount from  
line 20 of Schedule U) that is subject to the easement  
on Schedule A.  
Instructions for Form 706-NA (Rev. 10-2022)

You must make the election on a timely filed Form  
706-NA, including extensions. For more information, see  
the Instructions for Form 706.  
Uncompensated losses that were incurred during  
settlement of the estate and that arose from theft or  
from casualties, such as fires, storms, or shipwrecks.  
You may deduct only that part of a debt or mortgage  
Canadian Small Estate Relief  
that was contracted in good faith and for full value in  
money or money's worth. You may deduct mortgages only  
to the extent of the full value of the mortgaged property  
included in the total gross estate on line 3. Do not deduct  
tax on income received after death or property taxes  
accrued after death. See Line 7, later, for details on  
deducting death taxes.  
If you are claiming a small estate exemption (worldwide  
estate of a Canadian resident decedent not more than  
$1.2 million) from tax on U.S. securities or certain other  
U.S. situs property under the 1995 Protocol to the  
Canadian income tax treaty, do not list the exempt assets  
on Schedule A.  
Instead, list those assets and their values in a

Part II. Tax Computation  
For details, see Regulations section 26.2663-2.  
Lines 4 and 5. To determine the tentative tax on the  
amount on line 2 (to be entered on line 5) and the tentative  
tax on the amount on line 3 (to be entered on line 4), use  
Table A—Unified Rate Schedule in the version of the  
Instructions for Form 706 that corresponds to the  
decedent's date of death.  
Line 7. Enter the unified credit. The unified credit is  
allowed for the smaller of the line 6 amount or the  
maximum unified credit. In general, the maximum unified  
credit is $13,000.  
Line 15. Attach an explanation if earlier payments were  
made to the IRS.  
Line 16. Pay the balance due within 9 months after the  
decedent's death unless an extension of time to pay was  
granted. Make the check or money order payable to  
“United States Treasury” for the face value in U.S. dollars.  
No checks of $100 million or more accepted. The  
IRS cannot accept a single check (including a cashier's  
check) for amounts of $100,000,000 ($100 million) or  
more. If you're sending $100 million or more by check,  
you'll need to spread the payments over two or more  
checks, with each check made out for an amount less  
than $100 million. The $100 million or more amount limit  
does not apply to other methods of payment (such as  
electronic payments).  
For a citizen of a U.S. possession (see section 2209),  
the maximum unified credit is the greater of:  
$13,000, or  
The product of $46,800 times a fraction.  
The numerator of the fraction is the part of the gross  
estate located in the United States (line 1 of Schedule B),  
and the denominator is the entire gross estate wherever  
located (line 3 of Schedule B).
