Reg. § 1.642(g)-2 Deductions included.
It is not required that the total deductions, or the total amount of any deduction, to which section is applicable be treated in the same way. One deduction or portion of a deduction may be allowed for income tax purposes if the appropriate statement is filed, while another deduction or portion is allowed for estate tax purposes. Section has no application to deductions for taxes, interest, business expenses, and other items accrued at the date of a decedent's death so that they are allowable as a deduction under section for estate tax purposes as claims against the estate, and are also allowable under section as deductions in respect of a decedent for income tax purposes. However, section is applicable to deductions for interest, business expenses, and other items not accrued at the date of the decedent's death so that they are allowable as deductions for estate tax purposes only as administration expenses under section . Although deductible under section in determining the value of the taxable estate of a decedent, medical, dental, etc., expenses of a decedent which are paid by the estate of the decedent are not deductible in computing the taxable income of the estate. See section and the regulations thereunder for rules relating to the deductibility of such expenses in computing the taxable income of the decedent.
