the alternate valuation date.
What if we don’t have the inheritance
information right now?
The shares will be considered non-covered (per the IRS cost-
basis reporting regulations) if the FMV is not provided when
the shares are transferred.
The authorized estate representative may send the missing
information to us by mail at a later time and we will adjust the
cost basis in the account records.
Do the inheritance rules still apply to me if the
shares were registered as a Transfer on Death
(TOD)?
Yes. Accounts registered as TOD are not handled by the
probate process, but are considered part of the deceased
shareowner’s estate. For that reason, the cost basis of the
shares is the FMV on the date of death or the FMV on the
alternate valuation date, as determined by the authorized
estate representative.
How is cost basis on a jointly held account
determined for inheritance?
When shares are held jointly and we are unable to determine
that the joint owners were married, it cannot be assumed that
all tenants owned an equal amount of the shares. The
authorized estate representative will need to provide the
number of shares in which the decedent had an interest and
the FMV per share. This information will be used to adjust the
basis of the inherited shares upward. The cost basis for the
shares owned by the surviving owner(s) will not be adjusted.
When a married couple owns shares registered as joint tenants
(JT TEN) or as tenants by entirety (TEN ENT), the surviving
spouse will be treated as though he or she inherited half of each
share of stock. The cost basis will remain unchanged on one
half of each share of stock and will be adjusted upward for the
inheritance on the other half of each share of stock. We will
determine the cost basis for the inherited shares by using the
FMV on the date of death or by using the FMV on the alternate
valuation date, if provided.
If the joint owners reside in a community property state,
additional requirements may apply. For this reason, the
authorized estate representative will need to provide the
number of shares in which the decedent had an interest and
the FMV per share. Consult a tax attorney or advisor to
determine the appropriate information to provide on the Stock
Power Form. Please refer to IRS Publication 551 for specific
information about community property rules and calculations.
