What S 1135 does, verified March 18, 2026

The bill aims to repeal article 26 of the tax law and amend the administrative code of the city of New York. It modifies the rules for calculating gains or losses from the sale of property acquired from a decedent, where the estate was insufficient to require a federal estate tax return. The bill requires the necessary amount to properly reflect the gain or loss, as if a federal estate tax return had been filed to value the property. The changes will take effect immediately after the bill's passage.
