How to Avoid Estate Tax By : Berber Inheritance taxes and death taxes are basically the same thing as estate taxes. Estate taxes are something you pay the government, probate fees are paid to your attorneys. They have nothing to do with each other.The IRS doesn't actually collect estate tax from most families, because their estates are too small.People with larger estates can usually avoid paying any estate tax by doing some good estate planning using the legal tools available to them. Estate taxes are often called voluntary taxes, because if you plan for them you don't have to pay them.The rich do their planning, so that they don't have to pay any estate taxes. You can do the same thing. Technically, every dime of a deceased person's estate is subjected to the estate tax, and a tax is actually imposed. Even though an estate tax is actually calculated for every estate, most people don't actually pay any estate tax, because the IRS gives everybody a "credit" that can be used to offset any estate tax imposed.The amount of property an estate can pass, without having an estate tax actually paid, changes almost annually.The estate tax brackets and the rates within each estate tax bracket don't change. It is actually the credit amount that changes. The credit can be used to offset either a gift tax or an estate tax, which are a "unified tax" under the IRS Code, thus it is known as the "unified credit." Because congress changes the unified credit amount frequently, when you want to know what the unified credit amount actually is, you will have to look it up.An amount of property, know as the "exemption equivalent" amount, is the value of the property which generates a gift or estate tax equal to the unified credit.When somebody says that you can "pass two million dollars without an estate tax," they are really saying is that the unified credit amount that year is the amount needed to offset the estate tax generated on the first two million dollars in assets passed through the estate. Lots of people are surprised to learn they actually have a taxable estate, because the estate includes the assets like the retirement accounts, stocks, bonds, little business, life insurance face values, and of course, all of the real estate.Most people don't think the life insurance is included, but in most cases it is included in the estate tax calculations.Inflation allows estate values to gradually increase, and many families are shocked when they actually end up paying estate taxes after dad dies.With a near 50% tax rate on the first dollar where estate tax is actually owed, it is important to keep the estate in check.If there is an estate that is only $500,000 above the exemption equivalent, the payable estate tax will be on the order of $250,000.It may cost $10,000 at the attorney's office, but if you can deliver an additional quarter of a million dollars to your family, it is money well spent.

Phillips' FREE DVD, Using the Law to Make Money and Protect Your Assets, with his award winning book, Guaranteed Millionaire, you will learn how to remove your life insurance from any estate tax exposure.Using the book and DVD together, a couple can learn how to pass twice as much property to their family without having any estate tax problem.Numerous options are available to you if you can't eliminate estate taxes by simply getting your life insurance out of your estate and passing twice the exclusion equivalent to your family.Some of the other options you have are Family Limited Partnerships, Corporations, and LLCs.

Avoiding Estate Tax By : Berber Death taxes and inheritance taxes are often referred to as "estate taxes." Estate taxes are something you pay the government, probate fees are paid to your attorneys. They have nothing to do with each other.If you don't have a big estate, you don't have to worry about paying estate tax.Even larger estates usually don't have to pay estate taxes, because there are a number of legal tools that can help eliminate any estate taxes actually payable.If you pay estate taxes, you are voluntarily paying them, because if you plan for them, you don't have to pay them.The rich don't lose all their money when a family member dies. Why should you lose a dime? Believe it or not, every penny of a deceased person's estate is subjected to the estate tax and the full estate tax is calculated.Families usually don't have to actually pay any estate tax, because the IRS gives everyone a "credit" which can be used to offset the estate tax assessed against the estate.The estate tax "credit" limit changes almost every year.Note that the actual credit limit changes. The estate tax rates and brackets in the estate tax structure don't change. The IRS has brought the estate tax and gift tax together and "unified" them. The credit we have been talking about is called the "unified credit," because it can be used to offset either a gift tax or an estate tax liability.Gift tax and estate tax liabilities, or a combination of the two tax liabilities, can be offset by the amount of the unified credit.When you want to know what the unified credit amount actually is, you will have to look it up, because it changes too often to make any assumptions.An amount of property, know as the "exemption equivalent" amount, is the value of the property which generates a gift or estate tax equal to the unified credit.When people say that you can pass one million dollars without an estate tax they are really saying that the unified credit at that time is the amount of credit needed to offset the tax imposed on the first one million dollars in estate value. A person's estate includes the house, all other real estate, personal property, stocks, bonds, all retirement accounts, IRAs, life insurance face value, the value of their little business, and every other asset you can think of. Life insurance is included in most cases, even though people have been told that their life insurance isn't "taxable." There isn't any income tax, but there certainly is an estate tax on life insurance.With inflation ballooning estate values, many families are surprised to find out that there will actually be some estate tax paid when mom or dad die. On the first dollar above the exemption equivalent, the estate tax is about 50%, and the family will actually pay the tax.If the estate is only a half a million dollars over the exemption equivalent, there will be a payable estate tax of about $250,000.Attorneys aren't cheap, but getting an extra $250,000 to your family makes their motley $10,000 bill look like a great deal.
