Estate tax is due and payable 9 months after the decedent's

death. If the estate tax as finally determined is not paid within 9 months of the decedent's death, interest is due. Interest is calculated from the date of death to the date the tax is paid at the rate of 12% per year. Interest is assessed regardless of any extension to file the return. Any person who fails to file a return by the due date is subject to a penalty of 5% of the tax due but not less than $25 nor more than $500. The penalty is imposed even if there is no tax due.

Caution: Returns and documents sent by private carriers must be received by the Department of Revenue on or before the due date. See form W706 instructions for Where to File. Any payment received will first be credited against penalty and/or interest, if any, and the remainder will be applied to the tax. If the advance payment exceeds the estate or inheritance tax as finally determined plus any interest and/or penalty, the resulting refund will be sent to the payor. No interest will be paid on any refund.

Inheritance tax is due and payable at the time of the decedent's death. Interest accrues on taxes owing when those taxes are not paid within one year after date of death. Interest is computed from date of death to the date the inheritance tax is paid. For deaths on or after May 14, 1972, the interest rate is 12% per year.
