What Schedule F is for
Schedule F of Form 706 is used for gross-estate property not reportable on another asset schedule. The current IRS instructions control what must be reported, how items are valued or deducted, and what supporting material is required.
Records to gather
Prepare business interests, receivables and other miscellaneous property with valuation support. Keep source documents, valuations and workpapers with the estate file so every amount on the schedule can be traced to supporting records.
Preparation workflow
- Identify items that belong on Schedule F under the current instructions.
- Gather ownership, valuation or deduction support.
- Enter each item consistently with the date-of-death valuation and related Form 706 schedules.
- Reconcile the Schedule F total to the appropriate Form 706 recapitulation line.
- Attach appraisals, statements or explanations when required.
