  • Achieving the Impossible: Estate Tax Exclusion and Step-Up in Basis
    Sep 4, 2024
    One of the challenges in estate planning is keeping assets out of the deceased owner's taxable estate while still ensuring the assets receive the automatic change in basis (commonly called the step-up in basis) under Internal Revenue Code Section 1014. When the estate tax rates were much higher than they are today (70%-77% a few decades ago compared to 40%) and the long term capital gains income tax rates were not more than 25%, it was beneficial in most cases to seek estate tax exclusion even if the step-up in basis was forfeited.

This can create a significant income event resulting in giving back most of the income tax benefits accumulated over the years. Post-death control is also minimized while the resulting lack of asset protection increases.
