Income/Estate TaxEstate TaxMaine imposes a tax on estates (gross estate plus prior taxable gifts) valued more than $1,000,000 (for deaths from 2006 through 2012) for all decedents with property taxable to Maine. The Maine estate tax is applied even if there is no federal estate tax. For those estates (gross estate plus adjusted taxable gifts plus Maine elective property) with a value equal to or below the taxable threshold (currently $1,000,000) and that have real or tangible personal property in Maine, you may obtain a lien release for that property by filing Form 706EZ-ME. Beginning with 2013, the Maine estate tax has changed significantly. The tax applies to the value of a gross estate (with adjustments for taxable gifts and Maine QTIP property) in excess of $2,000,000. The number of rates has been reduced to three (8% on value from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000, 10% on value from $5,000,000 to $8,000,000 and 12% on value above $8,000,000).
