Form 4768 must be filed by September 19, 2011 to obtain automatic six-month extension to file an estate tax return and pay estate taxes for decedents who died after December 31, 2009 and before December 17, 2010.
States did not necessarily extend their estate tax returns to coincide with the federal deadlines. Consult each state law to avoid or minimize penalties for late filing of state estate and inheritance tax returns.
