72-16-607. Allowance for exemptions, deductions, and credits. (1) In making an apportionment, allowances must be made for any exemptions granted, for any classification made of persons interested in the estate, and for any deductions and credits allowed by the law imposing the tax.
(2) Any exemption or deduction allowed by reason of the relationship of any person to the decedent or by reason of the purposes of the gift inures to the benefit of the person bearing the relationship or receiving the gift, but if an interest is subject to a prior present interest that is not allowable as a deduction, the tax apportionable against the present interest must be paid from principal.
(3) Any deduction for property previously taxed and any credit for gift taxes or death taxes of a foreign country paid by the decedent or the decedent's estate inures to the proportionate benefit of all persons liable to apportionment.
(4) Any credit for inheritance, succession, or estate taxes or taxes of that nature applicable to property or interests includable in the estate inures to the benefit of the persons or interests chargeable with the payment to the extent proportionately that the credit reduces the tax.
(5) To the extent that property passing to or in trust for a surviving spouse or any charitable, public, or similar gift or devise is not an allowable deduction for purposes of the tax solely by reason of an inheritance tax or other death tax imposed upon and deductible from the property, the property is not included in the computation provided for in 72-16-603 and to that extent no apportionment is made against the property. The sentence immediately preceding does not apply to any case if the result would be to deprive the estate of a deduction otherwise allowable under section 2053(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 2053(d), as amended, relating to deduction for state death taxes on transfers for public, charitable, or religious uses.
