subsection with respect to their respective interests in the above-described property in the event of certain early dispositions of the 

property or early cessation of the qualified use of the property. It is understood that if a qualified heir disposes of any interest in

any additional estate and GST taxes due within 6 months of the disposition or cessation.

section 2032A of the Code and must be executed by every interested party even though that person may not have received the estate 

(or GST) tax benefits or be in possession of such property.

Each of the undersigned understands that by making this election, a lien will be created and recorded pursuant to section 6324B of 

the Code on the property referred to in this agreement for the adjusted tax differences with respect to the estate as defined in section 

2032A(c)(2)(C).

As the interested parties, the undersigned designate the following individual as their agent for all dealings with the Internal Revenue 

Service concerning the continued qualification of the specially valued property under section 2032A of the Code and on all issues 

regarding the special lien under section 6324B. The agent is authorized to act for the parties with respect to all dealings with the 

Service on matters affecting the qualified real property described earlier. This includes the authorization:

• To receive confidential information on all matters relating to continued qualification under section 2032A of the specially valued real 

property and on all matters relating to the special lien arising under section 6324B;

• To furnish the Internal Revenue Service with any requested information concerning the property;

• To notify the Internal Revenue Service of any disposition or cessation of qualified use of any part of the property;

• To receive, but not to endorse and collect, checks in payment of any refund of Internal Revenue taxes, penalties, or interest;

Instructions for the Trustee

Introduction Schedule R-1 (Form 706) serves as a payment voucher for the Generation-Skipping Transfer 

(GST) tax imposed on a direct skip from a trust, which you, the trustee of the trust, must pay. 

The executor completes the Schedule R-1 (Form 706) and gives you two copies. File one copy 

and keep one for your records.

How to pay You can pay by check or money order.

• Make it payable to the “United States Treasury.”

• Make the check or money order for the amount on line 6 of Schedule R-1.

• Write “GST Tax” and the trust’s EIN on the check or money order.

Signature You must sign the Schedule R-1 in the space provided.

What to mail Mail your check or money order and the copy of Schedule R-1 that you signed.

Where to mail Mail to the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service Center, Cincinnati, OH 45999.

When to pay The GST tax is due and payable 9 months after the decedent’s date of death (shown on the 

Schedule R-1). You will owe interest on any GST tax not paid by that date.

Automatic 

extension

You have an automatic extension of time to file Schedule R-1 and pay the GST tax. The 

automatic extension allows you to file and pay by 2 months after the due date (with extensions) 

for filing the decedent’s Schedule R (shown on the Schedule R-1).

If you pay the GST tax under the automatic extension, you will be charged interest (but no 

penalties).
