In order to minimize the distraction of tax issues and to assist the families of the victims of the September 11th tragedy, the Division has set up an expedited procedure for the processing of inheritance and estate tax returns and the issuance of tax waivers. The Division will give priority to providing whatever assistance is necessary so that the inheritance and estate tax proceeding may be completed in the shortest time possible.
To assure that the tax return or other form submitted will be processed on the expedited basis the following should be written in red ink on the top of the first page:
