§  954.  Resident's New York gross estate. (a) General.-- The New York gross estate of a deceased resident  means  his  or  her  federal  gross estate as defined in the internal revenue code (whether or not a federal estate tax return is required to be filed) modified as follows:  (1)  Reduced by the value of real or tangible personal property having an actual situs outside New York state.  (2) Increased by the amount  determined  under  section  nine  hundred fifty-seven  of  this  part  (relating  to limited powers of appointment created prior to September first, nineteen hundred thirty).  (3) Increased by the amount of any taxable gift under section 2503  of the  internal  revenue  code  not  otherwise  included in the decedent's federal gross estate, made during the three year period  ending  on  the decedent's  date of death, but not including any gift made: (A) when the decedent was not a resident of New  York  state;  or  (B)  before  April first, two thousand fourteen; or (C) between January first, two thousand nineteen  and  January  fifteenth, two thousand nineteen; or (D) that is real or tangible personal property having an actual  situs  outside  New York  state  at  the time the gift was made. Provided, however that this paragraph shall not apply to the estate of a decedent dying on or  after January first, two thousand twenty-six.  (4)  Increased  by  the  value  of  any property not otherwise already included in the decedent's federal gross estate in  which  the  decedent had  a qualifying income interest for life if a deduction was allowed on the return of the tax imposed  by  this  article  with  respect  to  the transfer  of  such property to the decedent by reason of the application of paragraph (7) of subsection (b)  of  section  2056  of  the  internal revenue  code,  as made applicable to the tax imposed by this article by section nine hundred ninety-nine-a of this article,  whether  or  not  a federal  estate tax return was required to be filed by the estate of the transferring spouse.  (b) Valuation. -- (1) The New York gross estate shall be valued as  of the  time  of  the decedent's death, except that if a federal estate tax return is filed and the alternate valuation under section  2032  of  the internal  revenue  code  is elected for federal estate tax purposes, the New York gross estate shall be  valued  as  of  the  applicable  federal valuation  date  or dates. Any real property qualified under section two thousand thirty-two-A of the internal revenue code shall have  the  same value  for  purposes  of the New York gross estate as it has for federal estate tax purposes.  (2) If such alternate valuation could have been  elected  pursuant  to paragraph  one  of  this  subsection,  but  for the absence of an estate sufficient to require the filing of a federal return, the New York gross estate may, upon the election of the  executor,  be  valued  as  of  the federal  valuation  date  or dates which would have applied if a federal return had been filed. However, no  election  may  be  made  under  this paragraph  unless  such election will decrease the value of the New York gross estate and the amount of tax imposed by this article  (reduced  by credits  allowable  against  such  tax).  Any  election  made under this paragraph shall be irrevocable. The election allowed by  this  paragraph shall  be  made  no later than the date prescribed for the filing of the return under this article (including extensions) or any time  thereafter as the commissioner may prescribe.
