                        If the skip person distributee is a trust, enter the name of the trust here.
                           
                         
                        
                        For skip person distributees who are individuals, enter the distributee's social security number (SSN) here and leave line
                           1c blank. If the skip
                           person distributee is a trust, see the instructions for line 1c. Do not enter a number on both line 1b and line 1c.
                           
                         
                        
                        If the skip person distributee is a trust, enter the trust's employer identification number (EIN) and leave line 1b blank.
                           Do not enter a number on
                           both line 1b and line 1c.
                           
                         
                        
                        If the skip person distributee is a trust, enter the trustee's name here. If the skip person distributee is a minor or is
                           under some disability
                           that precludes the individual from filing the return, enter the name of the person who is legally responsible for conducting
                           the affairs of the
                           distributee, such as a parent or guardian. Also, include the title or relationship to the distributee.
                           
                         
                        
                        Enter the address at which you wish to receive correspondence from the IRS regarding this return. If there is an entry on
                           line 2a, the address
                           entered here will normally be that of the person listed on line 2a, rather than the individual or trust listed on line 1a.
                           
                         
                     
                     Report all the taxable distributions with inclusion ratios greater than zero that you received during the year. The trustee
                        will report these
                        distributions to you on Form 706-GS(D-1). Attach to this return a copy of each Form 706-GS(D-1) you received during the year.
                        You should also keep a
                        copy for your records.
                        
                      If you need more space than is provided in Part II, attach an additional sheet of the same size and use the same format that
                        is used in Part II.
                        Make sure that the total tentative transfers from the continuation sheet are included on line 3 of Part II.
                        
                      
                        
                        In column b, use the same item number that was used for the corresponding distribution on Form 706-GS(D-1). If you receive
                           distributions from more
                           than one trust, you may need to repeat item numbers.
                           
                         
                        
                        There may be instances when the trustee has either not completed columns e (value) and f (tentative transfer) of Form 706-GS(D-1)
                           or when you
                           disagree with the amounts the trustee entered. If this occurs, attach a statement to this return showing what you think are
                           the correct amounts and
                           how you
                           figured them.
 To figure the tentative transfer (col. c of this form), multiply the applicable inclusion ratio from Part II, col. d, of Form
                           706-GS(D-1) by the
                           value of the distribution. Use the following guidelines to determine the value of the distribution. See the instructions for
                           Form 706, United States
                           Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return, for more information. You can get Form 706, and other IRS forms and
                           publications, by calling
                           1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676) or by accessing the IRS website at
                           www.irs.gov.
                           
                         You must determine the value of the property distributed as of the date of the distribution. The date of distribution is listed
                           in Part II, column
                           c, of Form 706-GS(D-1).
                           
                         The value of a distribution is its fair market value on the date of distribution. Fair market value is the price at which
                           the property would change
                           hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, when neither is forced to buy or to sell, and both have reasonable knowledge
                           of all the relevant
                           facts. Fair market value may not be determined by a forced sale price, nor by the sale price of the item in a market other
                           than that in which the item
                           is most commonly sold to the public. The location of the item must be taken into account whenever appropriate.
                           
                         Reduce the value of any property being reported in Part II by the amount of any consideration provided by the distributee.
                           
                         Stock of close corporations or inactive stock must be valued on the basis of net worth, earnings, earning and dividend capacity,
                           and other relevant
                           factors. For such stock, attach balance sheets, particularly the one nearest the date of the distribution, and statements
                           of net earnings or operating
                           results and dividends paid for each of the 5 preceding years.
                           
                         Reduce the reported value of real estate by the amount of any outstanding lien against the property on the date of distribution.
                           Attach copies of
                           any such liens. Explain how the reported values were determined and attach copies of any appraisals.
                           
                         
                     
                     
                        
                        You may deduct from the amount of the distribution you received any adjusted allowable expenses incurred in connection with
                           the preparation of this
                           Form 706-GS(D) or any other expenses incurred in connection with the determination, collection, or refund of the GST tax reported
                           or which should have
                           been reported on this return.
                           
                         Adjusted allowable expenses are equal to the total allowable expenses multiplied by the inclusion ratio. If you have more
                           than one inclusion ratio
                           in Part II, column d, of Form 706-GS(D-1), prorate the total expense among the inclusion ratios based on the relative value
                           of each distribution made
                           at the various inclusion ratios.
                           
                         You may deduct an expense even though it has not been paid at the time the return is filed as long as the amount of the expense
                           is clearly
                           ascertainable at that time. If an additional allowable expense is incurred after the return is filed, file Form 843, Claim
                           for Refund and Request for
                           Abatement, to claim
                           a refund.
 Example. The following example illustrates the rules above.
                              
                            You listed three distributions in Part II of Form 706-GS(D). The value of the first distribution is $10,000 and has an inclusion
                              ratio of .25. The
                              value of the second distribution is $20,000 and has an inclusion ratio of .33. The value of the third distribution is $30,000
                              and has an inclusion
                              ratio of .50. You received the completed return from the preparer along with the bill for the preparer's fee on April 14 and
                              filed the return on April
                              15. You paid the preparer's $200 fee on April 20. The adjusted allowable expense you should report on line 4 of Part III is
                              $80, calculated
                              as follows.
 
                              
                            
                              
                           
                           
                         
                        
                        Enter, using the table below, the maximum federal estate tax rate in effect at the time the generation-skipping distribution
                           occurred.
                           
                         
                           
                          Table of Maximum Tax Rates 
                              
                              
                                 
                                    | If the generation-skipping transfer occurred | The maximum tax rate is |  
                                    | After December 31, 2002 but before January 1, 2004 | 49% |  
                                    | After December 31, 2003 but before January 1, 2005 | 48% |  
                                    | After December 31, 2004 but before January 1, 2006 | 47% |
