The Kansas City telephone number for general estate tax return inquiries will be posted here as soon as it becomes available, as will any information about future responsibilities for section 6166 accounts maintenance.Īnecdotal evidence (mid-June 2019) indicates that Cincinnati Campus will continue to handle section 6166 elections and billing accounts after July 1, 2019, and will also continue to be the telephone contact point for information about the status of filed estate tax returns.)Įxecutors sometimes seek information about an estate tax return after it has been filed and the tax has been paid by calling the IRS toll-free number 1-80. It seems that the institutional knowledge and expertise regarding section 6166 accounts maintenance is currently found only in Cincinnati. As of this writing (April 2019) it is not known whether Cincinnati or Kansas City will be responsible for section 6166 accounts maintenance and billing after July 1, 2019. NOTE: Efffective Jall estate tax returns, Forms 706, must be filed at Kansas City (Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Kansas City MO 64999) instead of Cincinnati. The direct telephone extension of the person handling the 6166 billing file can also be obtained from the annual billing notice sent out by Cincinnati Campus. NOTE: You must have a valid Power of Attorney, Form 2848, authorizing you to represent the estate before the IRS in order to speak with that person, or you must be the executor or administrator of record. Simply call the toll-free number, listen to the voice prompts, and then ask to speak with the person handling the 6166 billing file for your estate. More meaningful is that this toll-free number can be used to contact the person who is actually handling the section 6166 accounting and billing file for an estate at any time during the deferral period. Given the regular processing time frames, however, it is pointless to call until at least 5 or 6 months have passed since the return was filed.
