Fill-in State Inheritance Tax Return (Short Form)

Tennessee has two death taxes - an inheritance tax and an estate tax. The inheritance tax is imposed on receiving property after someone's death, while the estate tax ensures Tennessee receives tax equal to the federal state death tax credit. Estate tax is due nine months after death along with inheritance tax, unless an extension is granted. Exemptions exist for both state and federal taxes, ranging from $625,000 to $1,000,000 depending on the year of death.
