no
I am trying to fill out the California Inheritance Tax Form and am not sure how to fill it out.
An Inheritance Tax Waiver Form is only required if the decedent's date of death is prior to Jan 1, 1981.
how do i obtain my inheritance tax waiver form?
An Inheritance Tax Waiver is not required if the decedent died after 1/1/81. It is required if the decedent died before 1/1/81 and was a legal resident of Missouri. A waiver is also not required if the assets were held jointly with Rights of Survivorship, except for transfer of joint property of decedents who died prior to 8-13-74.
California no longer collects inheritance tax. This law was abolished in June of 1982. Any inheritance received is tax free in this state.
California does not have an inheritance tax. Only 11 states do have one enacted. Seventeen states have estate taxes, but California does not.
California abolished it's Inheritance Tax in 1982. It cost the state $1 billion in the first year.
You can visit your local government website to find out about your states inheritance tax procedure. If your state had certain requirements you will be able to use the local government website to print forms.

An inheritance tax waiver is required by brokers in order to transfer stock ownership of a deceased person from his/her name into the new account which contains her/his estate assets. It is issued by the states, and is not required in all states. I do not know its purpose. An inheritance tax waiver is a document issued by the taxing authority like a state in order to prove that all inheritance taxes have been paid. In New Jersey it is used this way. If the estate has to pay inheritance taxes, it may withdraw up to half of the date of death balances of the decedent's bank accounts and deposit those monies into the estate account. The other half is frozen in order to ensure that the inheritance taxes are paid. After the inheritance tax return is filed and the state is satisfied that it is accurate and that all inheritance taxes are paid, it issues documents called tax waivers. Each waiver will identify one or another of the decedent's bank account by name of bank, account number and date of death balance. The executor takes the tax waiver to the bank and if all the information matches properly, the bank releases the half that had been frozen. No one gets that second half until the tax waivers are issued by the state.
You can find this form on the Indiana state government's website (see related links below).
