      How do I prepare an IHT205 form?

      The Exizent IHT205 form pre-populates 85% of the fields, including calculations, to save you time and removes the need to re-key details.

      ❗ In order to generate an IHT205 you must create a case, add the Executor(s) and add at least one asset to your case 

      • Click the Documents & forms button on the left hand side menu of your Estate overview

      20220811 Documents and Forms outline (Menu)

      • Select the Inheritance Tax forms option, then IHT205 from the dropdown
      • Click Generate form

      20220125 IHT205 Outlined and arrow

      • Once opened, you'll see that a large amount of the IHT205 is pre-populated with information you have already entered into your case on the platform, saving you lots of time not having to re-key data 

      💡 White fields on the IHT205 are not editable. This is because they are pre-populated with either information entered into your case

      To edit information in white fields you must go to where you originally entered the data, update the information and save. When you re-open your IHT205 the information will have automatically updated. For example, if you have misspelt the deceased's name, go back to your Estate overview, click into the deceased's details, update the name with the correct spelling and click Save. Go back and open the IHT205 to see the correct spelling displayed

      💡 Grey fields are editable

      • To edit information in grey fields simply update the information on the form as necessary. Be sure to save as you go by clicking Save & close
