(a) The tax imposed shall be an amount equal to the proportion of the maximum credit for state death taxes computed under section 2011 of the Internal Revenue Code, but using Minnesota adjusted taxable estate instead of federal adjusted taxable estate, as the Minnesota gross estate bears to the value of the federal gross estate.

(1) the rates and brackets under section 2001(c) of the Internal Revenue Code multiplied by the sum of:
(i) the taxable estate, as defined under section 2051 of the Internal Revenue Code; plus
(ii) adjusted taxable gifts, as defined in section 2001(b) of the Internal Revenue Code; less
(2) the amount of tax allowed under section 2001(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code; and less
(3) the federal credit allowed under section 2010 of the Internal Revenue Code.
