§ 20.7520-1T - Valuation of annuities, unitrust interests, interests for life or terms of years, and remainder or reversionary interests on or after May 1, 2009 (temporary).

(a) General actuarial valuations. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section and in § 20.7520-3 (relating to exceptions to the use of prescribed tables under certain circumstances), in the case of estates of decedents with valuation dates after April 30, 1989, the fair market value of annuities, interests for life or for a term of years (including unitrust interests), remainders, and reversions is their present value determined under this section. See § 20.2031-7T(d) (and, for certain prior periods, § 20.2031-7A) for the computation of the value of annuities, unitrust interests, life estates, terms for years, remainders, and reversions, other than interests described in paragraphs (a)(2) and (a)(3) of this section.

(2) In the case of a transfer to a pooled income fund with a valuation date on or after May 1, 2009, see § 1.642(c)-6T(e), Income Tax Regulations, (or, for certain prior periods, § 1.642(c)-6A) with respect to the valuation of the remainder interest.

(3) [Reserved] For further guidance, see § 20.7520-1(a)(3).

(b)(1) [Reserved] For further guidance, see § 20.7520-1(b)(1).

(2) Mortality component. The mortality component reflects the mortality data most recently available from the United States census. As new mortality data becomes available after each decennial census, the mortality component described in this section will be revised periodically and the revised mortality component tables will be published in the regulations at that time. For decedent's estates with valuation dates on or after May 1, 2009, the mortality component table (Table 2000CM) is contained in § 20.2031-7T(d)(7). See § 20.2031-7A for mortality component tables applicable to decedent's estates with valuation dates before May 1, 2009.

(c) [Reserved] For further guidance, see § 20.7520-1(c).
