In the event that the federal authorities shall, after the filing of the return with the Department of Revenue, increase or decrease the amount of the federal estate taxes as a result of appeal or otherwise, an amended return shall be filed with the Department of Revenue showing all the changes made in the original return and the amount of final increase or decrease in the federal estate tax.
