ESTATE AND GIFT TAX COUNSELING FOR THE ELDERLY

t he federal estate and gift taxes aff ect transfers of property at diff erent stages in the owner’s life. Th e gift

tax applies to lifetime transfers, while estate tax is imposed on transfers at death. Th e gift tax return is due on April 15 following the year in which the gift is made. Generally, the estate tax return is due nine months after the date of death. You can get a six-month extensionif you ask for one before the due date and the estimated correct amount of tax is paid before the due date. Th e federal government impos-es estate tax at your death only if your prop-

erty is worth more than a certain amount, which depends on the year of death.

Federal Estate Taxestate tax is a tax on your right to trans-

fer property at your death. It consists of an accounting of everything you own or have certain interests in at the date of death. Th e fair market value of the items is used, not necessarily what you paid for them or what their values were when you acquired them. Th e total of all of these items is your “gross estate.” Th e includible property may

consist of items such as cash and securities, estates, insurance, trusts, annuities, business interests and other personal assets.

once you’ve accounted for thegross estate, certain deductions are al-lowed in arriving at your “taxable estate.” Th is will be the amount where the tax is calculated. Th e deductions may include mortgages and other debts, estate expenses, property that passesto surviving spous-es and qualifi ed charities.

As soon as the net amount is com-puted, the value of lifetime taxable gifts is added to this number and the tax is computed. Th e tax is then reduced by the available unifi ed credit, ap-plying to both the gift and estatetax to eliminate or lower taxes.

Property Exempt from Estate TaxAll property left to a spouse is exempt from

the tax, as long as the spouse is a U.S. citizen. Also, there is no estate tax on any property you leave to a tax-exempt charity.

State Death TaxesIn addition to the federal estate tax, a

state death tax may be imposed. Th ere are two types of these taxes: inheritance taxes and estate taxes. Inheritance taxes are paid by your inheritors, not your estate. Typically, how much they pay depends on their rela-tionship to you. State estate taxes are similar to the estate tax imposed by the federal government. Your estate must pay this tax no matter who your benefi ciaries are.

The Federal Gift TaxTh e gift tax is a tax on the transfer of

property by one individual to another while receiving nothing, or less than full value, in return. Th e tax applies whether the donor intends the transfer to be a gift or not. If you sell something at less than its full value or if you make an interest-free or reduced-interest loan, you may be making a gift.

While a gift tax return must be fi led whenever an individual makes a taxable gift, a gift tax is not payable unless total taxablegifts, both in the current and prior years, exceed $1 million. A separate annual exclusion applies to each person to whom you make a gift.

Gifts that fall under the annual exclusion have no tax consequences. Th is means that the gift giver’s lifetime unifi ed credit is not aff ected.

Questions for Your Attorney

Before meeting with your attorney,

prepare yourself with questions such as:

Will my estate be subject to state

death tax?

What is the best way to leave money

or property to charity?

Must I pay any taxes on property

which I leave to my spouse? Should I

instead create a trust?
