"Transactions between date of death & alternate date."
This month's featured "solution of the month" is estate tax valuations. Some of our subscribers are not aware that ESI-APPRAISE clients, whether they outsource the work to us or utilize one of our self serve technology solutions, can post transactions between the date of death and alternate date. For example, a distribution, merger, sale, spin off, or transfer can easily be added to an alternate date valuation.
Although the IRS Form 706 Estate Tax is our most frequently used valuation, we do not talk about it a lot. Here are some things you may find interesting:
1. Our valuations are in full compliance with the stringent IRS regulations and have been deemed acceptable for use by the Internal Revenue Service.
2. Issues on the final report can be sorted by CUSIP® number, security type, or alphabetically.
3. If you prepare alternate valuations which have transactions between the date of death and alternate date, Appraise allows you to input 17 unique types.
4. Assets can be imported into Appraise electronically or manually using our Universal Import program which saves you time and is more accurate.
Here's a story a client shared with us.
"We recently assumed responsibility for the date of death valuations from another department. When we contacted your technical support desk, they readily trained us on how to use the product from importing the holdings using Universal Import, generating the date of death, creating the alternate and applying transactions at a later time, and finally creating an output file to be imported into another application. Thank you."
