# 20.6314-1 Duplicate receipts for payment of estate taxes.

The internal revenue officer with whom the estate tax return is filed will, upon request, give to the person paying the tax duplicate receipts, either of which will be sufficient evidence of such payment and entitle the executor to be credited with the amount by any court having jurisdiction to audit or settle his accounts.

[T.D. 7238, 37 FR 28724, Dec. 29, 1972]
