Title: Imposition of Tax on Gifts and Bequests From Expatriates 
Abstract: On June 17, 2008, under section 301 of the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008, Congress created a new chapter 15 of the Internal Revenue Code and added section 2801. This new provision imposes a tax on a U.S. citizen or resident receiving a covered gift or bequest during the calendar year. A covered gift or bequest is a gift or bequest received from a covered expatriate, with certain exceptions. The tax is calculated by multiplying the value of the total covered gifts and bequests received during the year, reduced by the section 2503(b) amount, by the highest estate tax rate (or gift tax rate if higher) for the taxable year. On July 20, 2009, the Treasury Department and IRS issued Announcement 2009-57, which states that the Treasury Department and IRS intend to issue guidance under section 2801 and New Form 708, and that such guidance will provide the due date for filing and paying the section 2801 tax.
