Learning Objective

  • To recall the practical and updated understanding of the federal gift tax.
  • To identify the parts and schedules that make up the Form 709.
  • To identify which lifetime transfers are subject to gift tax
  • To recall the practical understanding of the federal estate tax

Course Overview

How often do you prepare a trust return and see the trust's marginal tax rate is too high? Form 709, the Federal Gift Tax return, and Form 706, the Federal Estate Tax return, are key parts of any practice involving estate planning and wealth management. There have been many recent tax law changes that impact these two returns and practitioners who’ve not prepared one of these returns in recent years must understand the latest changes to file these forms accurately.

Many taxpayers made gifts in recent years to transfer substantial assets at little to no federal gift tax cost to take advantage of the significant federal gift tax exclusion. Proper compliance with the complex gift tax rules remains necessary to protect and preserve the advantage of the current exclusion levels. In this fast-paced webinar, Robert will discuss important elections associated with Form 709, 706, and 1041. The focus of this Online Webinar will be reviewing returns and identifying key issues.

This Online CE Tax Webinar covers the following Key Topics:

  • Understand gift-splitting elections and reverse QTIP elections.
  • Elect out of automatic GST allocations and address valuation issues.
  • Make 5-year 529 plan elections and consider Section 2642(c) charitable issues.
  • Navigate Section 691(c) issues and Section 2013 PPT credits.
  • Apply adequate disclosure rules and manage statute of limitations issues.
  • Utilize Section 2032A alternative valuation date, 754 partnership elections, and plan for Kenan's gains, including understanding DNI.

I’ve used myCPE for several years. There are quite a few selections of courses and the unlimited price is great. The courses are easy to select and the reminders for upcoming webinars are helpful. I also appreciate the one credit one meal program. The presenter had great knowledge of the material and did a wonderful job explaining it.

I think that at least two of the answers to the quiz questions are incorrect. That is, My-CPE shows the wrong answers as correct (highlights them in green)
