How do I calculate estate taxes?

In Tennessee, estate taxes are calculated using the Tennessee Estate Tax Return form. The form is used to determine the value of the decedent’s estate and then calculate the amount of estate taxes due. To calculate the estate taxes, you will first need to compile all of the necessary information, including the gross value of the estate, expenses related to the estate, and any transfers of property in the decedent’s estate. Once you have all of the necessary information, take the gross value of the estate and subtract any expenses and transfers related to the estate. This figure is known as the taxable amount of the estate. From here, you will need to use the estate tax form to calculate the taxes due on the estate. The form provides a table that explains the rate of taxation depending on the size of the estate and the amount of estate taxes due. You will also need to include any deductions and credits you are eligible for on the Tennessee Estate Tax Return form. Deductions may include funeral expenses, unpaid medical bills, and debts owed by the decedent. Credits may include specific exemptions for certain family members or a surviving spouse. Once you have completed the calculation of estate taxes due in Tennessee, you must submit the completed forms to the Tennessee Department of Revenue.
