This session highlights the federal tax issues associated with estate and gift tax issues. Under current rules, few taxpayers are subject to estate and gift taxes given the doubling of the Unified Tax Credit (UTC) by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. However, the UTC is due to return to the pre-2017 figures adjusted for inflation in 2026. In addition, there is sentiment by the president and Congress to reduce the UTC even further. Hence, tax planning before 2026 may be something to consider at this time.
Areas Covered
- Review of the estate tax
- Review of the generation-skipping transfer tax
- Review the portability issue of unused unified tax credit
- Discuss the relevant forms associated with the estate and gift taxes
- Introduce tax planning considerations
Course Level: Basic and Intermediate
Who Should Attend
Tax preparers, CPAs, Accountants, Financial Planners, Consultants, and Personal Advisors.
Why Should You Attend
Most taxpayers are not currently subject to estate taxes. However, this situation is likely to change in two years as the Jobs Cuts and Tax Acts sunset. But there is still time to take advantage of some of the estate tax provisions before sunset by gifting some assets in the current and forthcoming year. But to do so, tax professionals need to discuss these benefits with our clients. This webinar presents the issues associated with the estate and gift tax provisions and the thoughts of some Congressional members about the future of the estate tax.
