I'm a foreign owner with a US rental — when does my estate have to file Form 706-NA?
I'm a non-resident and I own a US rental property directly. Someone told me my heirs could owe US estate tax even though I'm not a US person and don't live there. Is that right, and is there really a $60,000 line that triggers a Form 706-NA filing? It seems impossibly low compared to what US citizens get.
