What is 706-NA?

Form 706-NA computes the U.S. estate and generation-skipping transfer tax on the U.S.-situated assets of a nonresident who was not a citizen of the United States. Unlike Form 706, which taxes a citizen or resident’s worldwide estate, this return covers only property treated as located in the United States, such as U.S. real estate, tangible property here, and stock of U.S. corporations.

The exemption available to nonresident alien estates is much smaller than the one for citizens and residents, so relatively modest U.S. holdings can trigger a filing requirement. Estate tax treaties between the United States and the decedent’s home country can change what is taxed and what deductions are allowed, so the treaty position is worth checking before filing.

Who files 706-NA?

  • Executors of estates of nonresident noncitizen decedents whose U.S.-situated assets exceed the filing threshold
  • Administrators handling U.S. real estate, brokerage accounts, or U.S. company stock owned by a foreign decedent
  • Fiduciaries claiming estate tax treaty benefits for a foreign estate
  • Anyone in actual or constructive possession of the decedent’s U.S. property when no executor has been appointed

How to fill out 706-NA

  1. Enter the decedent’s name, date of death, country of citizenship, and domicile, plus the executor’s details in Part I.
  2. List the U.S.-situated assets on the attached Schedule A with values as of the date of death or the alternate valuation date.
  3. Complete Schedule B to figure the taxable estate, applying the deductions the instructions allow for nonresident estates.
  4. Compute the tax in Part II, applying the unified credit available to nonresident aliens or a larger treaty-based credit if one applies.
  5. Download the finished PDF, sign it, and mail it with any payment to the IRS address in the current instructions, generally within nine months of death.

Frequently asked questions

How is Form 706-NA different from Form 706?

Form 706 covers the worldwide estate of a U.S. citizen or resident. Form 706-NA covers only the U.S.-situated property of someone who was neither, and the exemption amount is far smaller. Which return applies depends on citizenship and domicile at death, not on where the executor lives.

What counts as U.S.-situated property?

Typically U.S. real estate, tangible personal property located in the United States, and shares of U.S. corporations. Some assets, such as certain bank deposits and portfolio debt, are excluded by statute, and a treaty can change the situs rules. Check the instructions and any applicable treaty.
