Learning Objective

  • Review of the estate tax.  
  • Review of the generation skipping transfer tax. 
  • Review portability issue of unused unified tax credit 
  • Discuss the relevant forms associated with the estate and gift taxes. 
  • Illustrate the filing of Forms 706 and 709.  
  • Discuss the difference between Form 1040 and 1041 by an estate. 
  • Introduce tax planning considerations.

Course Overview

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. 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. To do so, tax professionals need to discuss these benefits with our clients.  

This CE Course will highlight 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 Unified Tax Credit (UTC) doubled 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 as TCJA sunsets at the end of 2025.  The prospects of TCJA sunsetting are one issue to be aware of. There is sentiment by the president and some in Congress to further reduce the UTC. Hence, tax planning before 2026 is something tax professionals need to discuss with their clients.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Unified Tax Credit
  • Forms to be Filed After Death
  • Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax
  • Inter vivo Gifts Reporting
  • Special Rules for Gift Tax Exclusion
  • Tax Preparer Penalties

Join this CE Course. It 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.
