if a trust (or other property) meets the requirements of qualified terminable interest property under section 2523(f), and:
a. The trust (or other property) is listed on Schedule A, and
b. The value of the trust (or other property) is entered in whole or in part as a deduction on Schedule A, Part 4, line 4, then the donor shall be deemed to have
made an election to have such trust (or other property) treated as qualified terminable interest property under section 2523(f).
If less than the entire value of the trust (or other property) that the donor has included in Parts 1 and 3 of Schedule A is entered as a deduction on line 4, the donor
shall be considered to have made an election only as to a fraction of the trust (or other property). The numerator of this fraction is equal to the amount of the trust
