AN ACT CONCERNING THE ESTATE TAX FILING DEADLINE.
HB 7177 extends the deadline for filing estate tax returns from six months to nine months after a person's death. This change applies specifically to estates of decedents who died on or after July 1, 2009, but before July 1, 2025. Estate representatives (such as executors or administrators) will now have nine months, instead of six, to pay the tax without incurring penalties. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2025, and does not alter penalty rates or interest calculations.
