Form 706-CE – Credit for Foreign Death Taxes (Fillable PDF)

Form 706-CE is the IRS worksheet used by executors to claim a credit for foreign death taxes paid on an estate. The credit reduces the overall United States estate tax liability, preventing double taxation on assets located abroad.

This form is attached to the Form 706 (United States Estate and Generation‑Skipping Transfer Tax Return). It captures details about the foreign tax paid, the country of payment, and the amount of credit you are requesting.

Common Mistakes & Tips

• Incorrect currency conversion: Use the IRS-approved rate for the date of death.
• Missing supporting documentation: Attach copies of foreign tax receipts with the final filing.
• Leaving line 2 blank: Even if no refund was claimed, you must answer "No" to avoid processing delays.
• Signature errors: The executor must sign and date the form; an electronic signature is acceptable if the PDF supports it.
