Then what is the point of *anyone* with less then $11 million in assets to ever file a 709?    AFAIK the 709 is the form that *applies* the exemption, without it then there is not exemption.    I believe other code sections actually apply the tax (§2500-2501 possibly).


A 709 is required to be filed regardless of whether or not tax is due; that is clearly in the Regs (see the cite in my previous post).

Agreed, but if *required* to be filed then what is the penalty for not filing it if I am incorrect?    There is clearly a penalty for not filing it, but what is it if it does not exist?
