(continued on next page) Notice to Beneficiaries: You have received this schedule to inform you of the value of property you received from the estate of the decedent named above.

The basis of property acquired from a decedent is generally determined under IRC section 1014(a). However, if you transferred the property to the decedent within the 1-year period ending on the decedent’s date of death and reacquired the property at the decedent’s death, see IRC section 1014(e). For more information on determining basis, see IRC section 1014 and/or consult a tax professional.
