Ensure Compliance with U.S. Estate Tax Regulations
At FAS CPA & Consultants, we provide comprehensive support to nonresident individuals and their families in navigating the complex U.S. estate tax process. One of the essential steps in this process is obtaining a Transfer Certificate from the IRS, which is necessary to transfer the assets of a deceased nonresident, non-U.S. citizen.
A Transfer Certificate is an official document issued by the IRS that certifies the U.S. estate tax liability of a deceased nonresident's estate has been satisfied. This certificate is required to release the decedent's U.S. assets to beneficiaries or heirs.
Without a Transfer Certificate, financial institutions and other asset holders may be prohibited from transferring funds or property to the estate's heirs.
This service is essential for:
⇒ Executors or administrators of estates of nonresident individuals who owned U.S. assets at the time of death.
⇒ Beneficiaries who need to claim assets held in U.S. financial institutions, such as bank accounts, stocks, and bonds.
⇒ Legal representatives managing the estate of a non-U.S. citizen.
We assist with:
⇒ Preparing and filing Form 706-NA (U.S. Estate Tax Return for Nonresident Decedent).
⇒ Collecting and organizing all necessary documentation, including death certificates, asset valuations, and tax filings.
⇒ Communicating directly with the IRS to expedite the issuance of the Transfer Certificate.
To obtain a Transfer Certificate, the following information is generally required:
⇒ Form 706-NA: The U.S. Estate Tax Return for Nonresident Decedents.
⇒ Death Certificate: A certified copy of the decedent's death certificate.
⇒ Asset Valuation: Detailed information on U.S. assets, including bank accounts, real estate, and investments.
⇒ Tax Payments: Proof of any estate tax payments made to the IRS.
The processing time for a Transfer Certificate can vary based on the complexity of the estate and the IRS's workload. Typically, it will take up 9 months for the IRS to issue the certificate after all required documents have been submitted.
Our team works diligently to prepare and file the necessary paperwork promptly, reducing potential delays and ensuring compliance with IRS regulations.
Without a Transfer Certificate, U.S. financial institutions may:
⇒ Freeze the decedent's assets.
⇒ Refuse to transfer funds or securities to the heirs of the estate.
Obtaining the certificate ensures that beneficiaries can access the decedent's U.S.-based assets without unnecessary legal obstacles.
