Estate-tax deadline

WASHINGTON

The Internal Revenue Service recently announced that large estates of people who died during 2010 will have until early January 2012 to file returns and pay any estate taxes.

The relief is designed to give large investors, normally those of more than $5 million, more time to comply with tax-law changes enacted last year.

Large estates now have until Jan. 17 to file Form 8939, a special carry-over basis form. Those 2010 estates requesting an extension to file Form 4768 will have until March. Those who file the extension will have until March 19 to file Forms 706 or 706-NA.

Revised tax forms are available online at www.irs.gov.
