Learning Objective

  • Analyze how to take advantage of DSUE.
  • Discuss the consequences of not claiming DSUE.
  • Analyze Form 706.
  • Explain what is included in a taxable estate.
  • Review deductions available for estate tax purposes.

Course Overview

In the ever-evolving world of estate planning, staying informed is crucial, especially in 2024. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) has dramatically increased the lifetime exclusion from estate taxes to an impressive $12,920,000, offering substantial benefits to clients. But what if your clients’ estates are below this threshold? Here’s why it matters: after the first spouse passes away, filing Form 706 becomes an essential step to secure the Deceased Spouse Unused Exemption (DSUE), which can greatly enhance the estate tax exemption.

This CE Course will dive deep into how the TCJA’s provisions are set to expire, causing the lifetime exclusion to shrink to half its current value. With lawmakers in Congress pushing for even deeper cuts, it’s more important than ever to understand the strategies for maximizing these exemptions before it’s too late. Join us as we unpack this critical estate planning tools, preparing you to protect your clients' wealth against upcoming tax changes.

Major Topics:

  • DSUE Filing Essentials
  • Lifetime Exclusion Strategies
  • Form 706 Preparation
  • Portability Case Analysis

Join us, we will demystify the process of preparing Form 706 and, more importantly, show you how to secure that all-important DSUE portability. To drive these points home, we'll wrap up the course with an enlightening case study.
