HRS §236E-13

Filing an updated estate tax return after IRS changes

If the IRS changes the amount of taxable estate on your federal estate tax return, you must tell the Hawaii tax department by filing an amended state return within 90 days of the final decision, unless the department says otherwise. You must also send any related documents. If you owe more tax, you must pay it with interest when you file the amended return.
