Internal Revenue Service Has Gone Back to the Drawing Board on Form 8939

The Internal Revenue Service has withdrawn its drafts of new Form 8939, entitled “Allocation of Increase in Basis for Property Acquired From a Decedent.”  http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/f8939–dft.pdf

Hopefully, The Internal Revenue Service will complete its work soon, since the form will be due with the decedent’s final federal income tax return on April 15, 2011.  Once a new version of Form 8939 is made available, I’ll post it here.
