The federal estate tax regime allows a surviving spouse to use the deceased spouse's unused portion of the exemption—a feature called "portability." However, Maine's estate tax does not offer portability between spouses; each spouse has a separate exemption amount of $6.41 million.

Maine Estate Tax Exemption The estate tax threshold for Maine is $6.01 million in 2022 and $6.41 million in 2023. If your estate is worth less than that, Maine won't charge estate tax on it.

If a federal Form 706 is required, then a Maine estate tax return (Form 706ME) is also required if (1) the decedent was a Maine resident at the time of death or (2) the decedent was a nonresident and owned real and/or tangible personal property located in Maine at the time of death.

As described above, the executor is required to include many documents with Form 706 and Form 706-NA. Many of those documents are provided to the executor in electronic form, who is then required to reproduce multiple copies of those forms to include with federal and state filings.
