Inheritance Tax

The Estate Tax is a tax on the right to transfer property in case of death. It is based on the amount of the taxable estate. In the US every taxpayer has a lifetime gift and estate tax exemption amount. In 2022, the lifetime exemption increased from $11.7 million to $12.06 million. Unless the tax laws change, the lifetime exemption will drop to approximately $6.2 million at the end of 2025.

Additionally, twelve states and the District of Columbia impose estate taxes and six impose inheritance taxes.
