NAEPC Webinar: Post-Election Estate Planning: The Tsunami Continues to Roll In
Presented by National Association of Estate Planners & Councils
Wednesday, February 10, 2021
12:00pm - 1:00pm PT
Speaker: Jonathan G. Blattmachr, Esq., AEP® (Distinguished)
As much estate planning as was required in 2020, the prospects of massive changes to the tax law means that even more should be undertaken this year. This program will discuss some of the more important changes that will soon be considered in Washington, from increases in income tax rates, taxing long term capital gains as ordinary income, greatly increasing the social security taxes individuals pay, limiting the benefit of deductions to 28% and a reintroducing of the Pease deduction limitation. In addition to potentially reducing the estate, gift and GST tax exemptions and increasing the rates for those tax regimes, many other limitations to curb effective wealth transfer tax planning may be adopted, including effectively killing GRATs, limiting annual exclusions to $20,000 per donor (and not per donee) and making grantor trusts be included in the gross estate of the grantor. Perhaps, most significant may be the elimination of the tax free step up in basis at death, with! a carryo ver basis or gain recognition at death regime.
