BILL NUMBER:S4851 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the estate tax treatment of dispositions to surviving spouses who are not United States citizens This is one in a series of measures being introduced at the request of the Chief Administrative Judge upon the recommendation of her Surrogate's Court Advisory Committee. This measure would amend the Tax Law to reduce the expense and clarify the procedure to obtain a marital deduction for a disposition to a non-citizen surviving spouse where no Federal estate tax return is required. Under § 2056(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, an estate is not entitled to a marital deduction for bequests to a non-U.S. citizen surviving spouse, unless the bequest passes to a qualified domestic trust ("QDT"), as defined in IRC § 2056A. That section provides generally that when the QDT terminates or distributes principal to the surviving spouse, a tax is imposed equal to the estate tax that would have been imposed if the value of the distributed property had been added to the original decedent's taxable estate. In essence, this ensures that the marital deduction will cause a deferral of estate tax, rather than a complete elimination, if the surviving spouse is not subject to U.S. estate tax at his or her death. However, there is no corresponding New York tax imposed on the termination of a QDT or distribution of principal from a QDT.
