When the rules of the game change, your tactics should follow in response to the new landscape. While estate tax exemptions have ridden an uncertain roller coaster in recent years, the rules appear to be stabilizing after the passing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, prompting many to reconsider estate planning<\/a> strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, Congress raised the estate and gift tax exemption to $11.2 million, doubling the $5.6 million that previously existed. In 2022, the estate and gift tax exemption is $12.06 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exemption increase means that potentially hundreds of additional American households may be able to pass on their assets free of estate taxes. It also means that individuals may want to revisit their current approach to estate management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes in Gift Strategies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the objectives of gifting assets is to manage taxation on an estate’s future growth. However, this strategy comes at the cost of losing the tax advantage of the step-up in cost basis attached to inherited assets. Since more assets are excluded from the estate tax, the need to gift assets for tax purposes may no longer be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many estates, there may now be no reason to gift assets during a lifetime, unless there is a present need with a family member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joint Ownership of Assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An individual may want to consider re-titling assets to joint ownership with a spouse to take advantage of the step-up when the first spouse dies, which may save capital gains taxes when the asset is subsequently sold by the surviving spouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rethinking Trust Strategies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spouses no longer need to create or maintain a trust to take full advantage of both spousal exemptions, since the surviving spouse is now able to claim the deceased spouse\u2019s exemption. Indeed, previously established trusts may actually raise tax bills by missing out on the step-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating an estate strategy<\/a> is complex and should be done with the assistance of a tax or legal professional. These recent changes are a good reason to revisit your existing approach to estate management with your Azzad advisor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
