Federal 706 with Form 8971 for 2015

On Tuesday, February 19, 2016 the IRS announced, a change in the filing deadline of statements required under section 6035. The filings and statements need not be filed or furnished until March 31, 2016, rather than the previously announced February 29, 2016 deadline. The notice further recommends that executors and other persons who are required to file an estate tax return wait to prepare the statements required under section 6035 until the Treasury Department and IRS issue further guidance.
We recently announced an update to our 2015 Federal 706 that will allow users to prepare Form 8971, Information Regarding Beneficiaries Acquiring Property From a Decedent, directly in our software.
As a best practice, we advise clients to create a copy of their 706 using the "Save As" feature for purposes of reviewing and preparing Form 8971 so as to not change or alter previously filed returns. We have scheduled online training for Friday, March 4, 2016 to share additional best practices.
If you have questions about your license, please contact your Sales Representative at 800-331-2533.

CSV Import Project
We are actively working on a CSV Data Import Tool and need your help. Please contact us if you are able to share some sample files with us.
- The CSV Import Tool will allow clients to match electronic data files with required OTEA data fields and ultimately run a process to auto populate entries into the OTEA software where it can be used to complete various Tax and Accounting reports.
Benefits
- Early adapters will help shape the direction of the Import Tool.
- Once the User has perfected the import they will save hours of time previously spent on manual data entry which ultimately will allow them to handle more business.
- Less time will be needed to balance Accountings as importing will eliminate errors associated with manually inputting data.
- CSV files may be easily scrubbed prior to importing
If you are interested in helping us with this project, please contact your Sales Representative at 800-331-2533.
