This session highlights the federal tax issues associated with estate and gift tax issues. Under current rules, few taxpayers are subject to the estate and gift taxes given the doubling of the Unified Tax Credit (UTC) by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. But the UTC is due to return to the pre-2017 figures adjusted for inflation in 2026 as TCJA sunsets at the end of 2025.
But the prospects of TCJA sunsetting is but one issue to be aware of. There is sentiment by the president and some in Congress to reduce the UTC even further. Hence, tax planning before 2026 is something that tax professionals need to be discussing with their clients.
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 the 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. In addition, we review the tax forms associated with estate and gift taxation.
