If you elect section 2032A valuation, you must complete Schedule E (Form 706) and Schedule T (Form 706).
If more space is needed, attach Schedule(s) W (Form 706) or additional statements.
Note: If the value of the gross estate, together with the amount of adjusted taxable gifts, is less than the basic exclusion amount and Form 706 is being filed solely to elect portability of the DSUE amount, consideration should be given as to whether you are required to report the value of assets eligible for the marital or charitable deduction on this schedule. See the instructions for more information. If you are not required to report the value of an asset, identify the property but make no entries in the last three columns.
