   (a) In the case of a nonresident decedent, a return must be filed and tax computed on Form IT-NR (Non-Resident) or, where the representative or beneficiary of such estate agrees to the use of a flat tax rate a flat tax rate affidavit, either of which must be accompanied by payment of tax, and a certified copy of the decedent's will, if such decedent dies testate.

(b) A flat tax may be paid in lieu of filing the information required in Form IT-NR, if the representative or beneficiary of a nonresident estate files an affidavit containing the following information:
