If a trust (or other property) meets the requirements of qualified terminable interest property under section 2523(f), and

a. The trust (or other property) is listed on Schedule A, and

b. The value of the trust (or other property) is entered in whole or in part as a deduction on line 8, Part 3 of Schedule A,

then the donor shall be deemed to have made an election to have such trust (or other property) treated as qualified terminable interest property

under section 2523(f).

If less than the entire value of the trust (or other property) that the donor has included in Part 1 of Schedule A is entered as a deduction on

line 8, the donor shall be considered to have made an election only as to a fraction of the trust (or other property). The numerator of this fraction

is equal to the amount of the trust (or other property) deducted on line 10 of Part 3, Schedule A. The denominator is equal to the total value of

the trust (or other property) listed in Part 1 of Schedule A.

If you answered “Yes” on line 11a of page 1, Part 1, see the instructions for completing Schedule B. If you answered “No,” skip to the Tax

Computation on page 1 (or Schedule C, if applicable).

If you make the QTIP election (see instructions for line 8 of Schedule A), the terminable interest property involved will be included in your

spouse’s gross estate upon his or her death (section 2044). If your spouse disposes (by gift or otherwise) of all or part of the qualifying life

income interest, he or she will be considered to have made a transfer of the entire property that is subject to the gift tax (see Transfer of Certain

Life Estates on page 4 of the instructions).
