FAQ About Appraisals for IRS Form 706

What is IRS Form 706?

IRS Form 706 is an official form used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States. It is used to report the value of an individual's estate at the time of their death. This form must be filled out by the executors of a deceased individual's estate and is used to calculate the estate taxes due at the time of the individual's death. The form must be filed within nine months of the decedent's death. Form 706 calculates the gross estate of the decedent, which includes property owned at the time of death, such as real estate, personal property, and investments. It also calculates any deductions or credits that can be taken to reduce the gross taxable estate. This form must be completed before a taxpayer is eligible to receive an appraisal, which is used to assign a value of the estate for tax purposes. In addition to Form 706, the executors must also submit supporting paperwork to document the value of the assets they include in the form.

Why do I need an appraisal for IRS Form 706?

An IRS Form 706 is a form used to report estate taxes. It is mandated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and requires the fair market value of the decedent’s estate to be documented in order to calculate the taxes owed. An appraisal is necessary for completing the IRS Form 706 because it provides an estimate of the estate’s market value. A qualified appraiser with specific knowledge of the type of property being appraised can provide a professional and defensible opinion of the property’s value, which is essential for accurately calculating the estate taxes. Additionally, having an appraisal can also provide a layer of protection for the estate executor in the event of an IRS audit. An appraisal report is an important legal document that can be used to show that the estate was properly valued and to prove that the executor acted responsibly when filing the Form 706. *Please note that AppraiseItNow does not provide tax advice*

FAQ about Fractional Interest Appraisals

What is a Fractional Interest appraisal?

A Fractional Interest Appraisal is when an appraisal is done that values a portion of a larger entity. This is a process often used in the business world when the value of a company's owners' shares must be determined or split up. This can be done with corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships, and other business entities. In each case, the appraisal looks at the ownership of each portion and applies a value to each percentage being appraised. For example, if a company is owned by four separate individuals and each person owns 25%, an appraisal would be used to determine the value of each quarter-share, regardless of what the entire company is worth. The appraisal examines all aspects of the entity including assets, liabilities, growth potential, and other factors to come up with a fair market value. This is useful when partners wish to split up their investments or when a deceased owner's interest needs to be distributed to those who are set to inherit it.

What are the different types of Fractional Interest appraisals?

Fractional interest appraisers are professionals who specialize in the valuation of fractional interest in real estate, such as that owned by a shareholder in a company. There are four main types of fractional interest appraiser. The first type is the Appraisal Institute Designated Member appraiser. They are a professional who holds a designation from the Appraisal Institute. These appraisers are held to the highest of standards and must pass a comprehensive exam before their designation is granted. The second type is the Certified General appraiser. They are certified by the Appraisal Qualification Board and must have completed a minimum of 120 hours of coursework in order to obtain their designation. They are specifically trained to appraise a broad range of real estate, including fractional interests. The third type is the Residential Appraiser. These appraisers are certified to appraise one to four unit residential properties but may also appraise fractional interests for undeveloped residential land. The fourth type is the Certified Business Appraiser. These appraisers are trained to evaluate businesses and their related assets and interests. This includes the fractional interests of partners in a business. Each type of fractional interest appraiser brings a unique combination of education, skills, and experience to the appraisal process. As such, when selecting an appraiser, it is important to research each type to ensure that the individual chosen will provide the most relevant and accurate appraisal results.

Why should I get a Fractional Interest appraisal?

Getting a Fractional Interest appraisal can be beneficial when there is a need to determine the value of an undivided interest in an asset or group of assets. A Fractional Interest appraisal can help to ensure that an issue regarding fractional interest in an asset is resolved, and each party receives a fair share of the asset. The appraisal report can be used to help determine the overall value of the asset and also the value attributed to the fraction of the asset. A fractional interest appraisal provides the information necessary to make decisions to manage the asset or assets and for equitable allocations of the asset among the parties involved. It is important to make sure that all parties are aware of and agree to the method of valuation, as this will ultimately determine the value of the asset in a dispute. The appraisal report also provides assurance that all parties are receiving a fair and equitable share of the asset.
