Also of interest, the IRS issued final regulations establishing a new user fee for an estate tax closing letter. An estate closing letter informs the recipient that the IRS has accepted an estate tax return and/or generation skipping tax return.
Prior to June 2015, the letters, although not mandated by any statute, were automatically issued upon closing of every estate tax return filed. Since then, they have been issued only upon request. That change was prompted by the number of estate tax filings having dramatically increased after late 2010, when the “portability” provision in Sec. 2010(c) was enacted.
