•Estates with net taxable assets over $1,093,785 which do not have net taxable<br />

income: if the estate has no net taxable income, then there is likely no advantage<br />

of claiming the deduction on Form 1041, so it is usually better to claim the<br />

deduction on Form M706;<br />

•Estates with net taxable assets over $5,250,000 (which are subject to federal<br />

estate tax and don’t get the benefit of spousal portability): Because of the high<br />

estate tax bracket under Form 706 & M706, is is almost always better to claim the<br />

deduction on Form 706.<br />
