Purpose


Section 1, Chapter 2011-86, L.O.F., extends the expiration of the period of exemption from filing a Florida Estate Tax Return for decedents who die after December 31, 2004, and prior to January 1, 2013. The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12C-3.0015, F.A.C. (Documents, Extensions, and Due Dates for Filing), is to update the rule to provide the statutory period for the exemption from the requirement to file a Florida Estate Tax Return. The purpose of the proposed amendment to Rule 12C-3.008, F.A.C., is to adopt, by reference, updates to Form DR-312 (Affidavit of No Florida Estate Tax Due), Form DR-313 (Affidavit of No Florida Estate Tax Due When Federal Return is Required), and Form F-706 (Florida Estate Tax Return for Residents, Nonresidents, and Nonresident Aliens) to reflect the extension of the exemption period from filing a Florida Estate Tax Return.
