Introduction to the Estate Tax 2 Credits
Select your learning mode
An estate tax is a levy on estates whose value exceeds an exclusion limit set by law. Only the amount that exceeds that minimum threshold is subject to tax. Assessed by the federal government and about a dozen state governments, these levies are calculated based on the estate's fair market value (FMV) rather than what the deceased originally paid for its assets. The tax is levied by the state in which the deceased person was living at the time of their death.
President Theodore Roosevelt argued for the estate tax to Congress in 1906: “the inheritance of those swollen fortunes which it is the certainty of no benefit to this country to perpetuate”
The typical objection to the estate tax is that it destroys productive capital investments (discourages investment).
The estate tax is imposed on the decedent and is paid from the decedent’s estate.
In this online CPE webinar, the speaker will discuss estate tax from its foundation concepts to proposed reforms.
This webinar will also focus on basic tax concepts of gifts or gratuitous transfer between individuals; when a Form 709 Gift Tax Return must be filed; and review of a sample gift tax return from a preparation and review standpoint; and times when gifts are reported on a decedent’s estate return

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 like the variety of credit hours from short webinars to longer ones. And thank you for the one credit one meal program. The presenter had great knowledge of the material and did a wonderful job explaining it.
Instructor was very knowledgeable and explain each topic in great detail. Wish power point were more inclusive of notes and every key point that he discusses during the presentation. You really have to be taking notes on your own. Only power point slides won't help
