Many people do not understand that the IRS requires reports filed to explain the numbers involved in estate sales.

Opinions of value displayed in documents provided to the revenue authorities absolutely should be supported by a detailed report as to how the appraiser acquired his conclusions. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are well-founded and substantiated.

Having a professional appraisal from Elevate Appraisal Coop LLC gives the executor undeniable facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and IA state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the report if it is ever challenged.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
