(b) If the transfer of any part of the estate of a deceased resident includes real or tangible personal property having an actual situs outside New York state, the tax imposed by subsection (a) of this section shall be reduced by an amount determined by multiplying the maximum amount of the federal credit for state death taxes by a fraction, the numerator of which is the decedent's federal gross estate reduced by his or her New York gross estate and the denominator of which is his or her federal gross estate.
