Apportionment of Taxes|Section 124.005. General Apportionment of Estate Tax; Exceptions

Sec. 124.005.  GENERAL APPORTIONMENT OF ESTATE TAX; EXCEPTIONS.  (a)  A representative shall charge each person interested in the estate a portion of the total estate tax assessed against the estate.   The portion charged to each person must represent the same ratio as the taxable value of that person's interest in the estate included in determining the amount of the tax bears to the total taxable value of all the interests of all persons interested in the estate included in determining the amount of the tax.  In apportioning an estate tax under this subsection, the representative shall disregard a portion of the tax that is:(1)  apportioned under the law imposing the tax;(2)  otherwise apportioned by federal law; or(3)  apportioned as otherwise provided by this subchapter.(b)  Subsection (a)  does not apply to the extent the decedent, in a written inter vivos or testamentary instrument disposing of or creating an interest in property, specifically directs the manner of apportionment of estate tax or grants a discretionary power of apportionment to another person.  A direction for the apportionment or nonapportionment of estate tax is limited to the estate tax on the property passing under the instrument unless the instrument is a will that provides otherwise.(c)  If directions under Subsection (b) for the apportionment of an estate tax are provided in two or more instruments executed by the same person and the directions in those instruments conflict, the instrument disposing of or creating an interest in the property to be taxed controls.  If directions for the apportionment of estate tax are provided in two or more instruments executed by different persons and the directions in those instruments conflict, the direction of the person in whose estate the property is included controls.(d)  Subsections (b) and (c) do not:(1)  grant or enlarge the power of a person to apportion estate tax to property passing under an instrument created by another person in excess of the estate tax attributable to the property; or(2)  apply to the extent federal law directs a different manner of apportionment.|Added by Acts 2009, 81st Leg., R.S., Ch. 680, Sec. 1, eff.

The representative shall apply the amount of the reduction of the estate tax resulting from the election to reduce the amount of the estate tax allocated based on the value of the qualified real property that is the subject of the election.  If the amount of that reduction is greater than the amount of the taxes allocated based on the value of the qualified real property, the representative shall:(1)  apply the excess amount to the portion of the taxes allocated for all other property; and(2)  apportion the amount described by Subdivision (1) under Section 124.005(a).(c)  If additional federal estate tax is imposed under Section 2032A(c), Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C.

The additional tax is a charge against that qualified real property.  If the qualified real property is split between one or more life or term interests and remainder interests, the additional tax shall be apportioned to each person whose action or cessation of use caused the imposition of additional tax, unless all persons with an interest in the qualified real property agree in writing to dispose of the property, in which case the additional tax shall be apportioned among the remainder interests.|Added by Acts 2009, 81st Leg., R.S., Ch. 680, Sec. 1, eff.
