138966
Any U.S. citizen or Green Card holder whose gross estate is in excess of the current exemption amount, which is $2,000,000.  (That threshold amount may be reduced if large gifts were made during your life for which you filed or should have filed a Form 709.)  If you seem to fit this profile, you should consult a lawyer or accountant.

Call the IRS.  1-800-829-1040.  Do it later in the week though.  I'm sure that they are swamped with calls right now.

Bronwyn is incorrect.  You are required to file income tax returns in every year in which you had an income that exceeds certain statutory minimums (which have changed over the years).\n\nIn the event that you are due a refund, you have three years in which to file and claim it, so if you are due a refund for tax year 2002, your return must be filed by April 17, 2006.  \n\nIf taxes are due, there is no statute of limitations on filing, and penalties and interest accrue from the date the return was initially due.\n\nYou need to see an accountant and determine your tax liability.  In many cases, interest and penalties can be negotiated with the IRS, although, unless you are indigent, Uncle Sam expects to get at least the taxes that are due.\n\nGood luck.

The IRS does not tax the recipient of inheritance...ever.  There is a federal tax on the estate (the net value of all assets left behind by the deceased), but the amount taxed is reduced by:\n\n1) donations made to charity if stipulated in the will\n\n2) the first $2,000,000 (for 2006, this changes year-to-year)\n\n3) all amounts left to the spouse.\n\nSo if you are not married when your other dies, and if the amount of the estate is less than $2,000,000, and if your other never filed a form 709 "Gift Tax Return", there should be no estate taxes.

The IRS only requires that you file the last three years in most cases (very high earners are asked for six years).\n\nRead the following from the London US Embassy's IRS FAQ:\n\n"I am a U.S. citizen who moved to the U.K. several (or many) years ago and thought I did not have to file U.S. tax returns any longer. Now I have learned that information was incorrect. What do I do?\n\n"This is a common misunderstanding among Americans abroad, and should not create anxiety for those who find themselves in this situation. Generally, you should file returns for the past three years, taking the foreign earned income exclusion, the foreign tax credit, or both. It would be extremely unlikely that there would be any late penalties assessed, since penalties are computed as a percentage of tax owed, and only the rare taxpayer would actually owe tax in this situation.\n\n"You may contact us for prior year tax forms, or download them from the IRS web site. To find older forms, enter the year required in the Search for... box on the top-left of the page. The search typically returns Forms and Publications for the year on which you will have searched."\n\nThe forms you need to start with are 1040 & 2555.  You can download these for free from the IRS website or buy older versions of Turbotax online.\n\nIf you earned more than $90,000 annually, you will also need 1116, 6251, 8801, and a real tax accountant to do the work for you (s/he has all the forms already).  If you have a foreign bank account with balances >$10,0000, you'll need Form TD F 90-22.1.  If you own >10% of  a corporation or partnership, you'll need Forms 5471 and/or 8865.  If you, your spouse, or your beneficiaries are the settlors, grantors or beneficiaries of any trusts, even if you get no income from the trusts, you'll need Forms 3520 and/or 3520A.  If you gave more than $10,000 to any foreigner, or received more than $10,000 as a gift from a foreigner, there's more paperwork.\n\nThere are tax specialists who handle cases like yours.  If any of the extra bits I mentioned apply, you should see one of them.

Since your grandmother died intestate, i.e. leaving no provision for disposition of her estate, the probate court would appoint an administrator who will oversee the disposition of the estate to dependents and other relatives that may have a legal claim. Your first step is to hire an estate attorney who will help you with filing all the necessary paperwork and the process. Good luck!

Tax credit, the exemption equivalent, and the tax\nHowever, the law then provides for a credit against the tentative tax. The credit may be thought of as providing, in effect, for an "exemption equivalent" or exempted value with respect to the value of the property. For a person dying during 2005, an estate with a value less than $1,500,000 would not pay a federal estate tax and most likely would not have to file a federal estate tax return. The applicable exclusion amount increases to $2,000,000 for decedents dying in the years 2006, 2007 and 2008. The amount increases to $3,500,000 for 2009. According to the Econonic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, the federal estate tax disappears for the year 2010, but the tax returns in 2011 at the 2001 level.  There are other deductions such as funeral expenses.\n\nSo it depends on how much he has and when he dies before you even get to that level.\n\nGift tax exception is $11,000 so basically he could give away $10,999.99 each year to each of you tax free.  The money could go into bonds for the children and then into Roth accounts when they turn 18.  All of you could open Roths.
