Fewer Estates May Be Taxable
But More Need Estate Tax Returns!

Are You Missing Out
On This HUGE
Practice-Building Opportunity?

Thanks to the ever-increasing estate tax exemption, it seems fewer estates will be required to file a Form 706 (Federal Estate Tax Return). Wrong!

Lots of estates that don’t exceed this new exemption may want to file a 706 because of a 2010 Tax Act provision… “Portability”!

Married couples may now fully utilize the first to die’s estate tax exemption without bothering to set up “A” and “B” (or “credit shelter”) Trusts, provided the survivor elects portability - - on a timely filed 706.

This makes sense when the total estate is worth over $13.61 million at the first spouse’s death. And this could also make sense if the total estate is less than $13.61 million but may grow to over $13.61 million by the surviving spouse’s death, or there are concerns that future laws may reduce the exemption amount available to the survivor’s estate.

Plus, keep this in mind…many times, even when “A” and “B” trusts are set up, the first to die’s exemption may not be fully used because assets like IRAs pass directly to the survivor - - and that unused exemption will be lost forever if you don’t timely file the 706!

What all this means is that many estates, even those well below $13.61 million may now need a 706 done, which is a golden opportunity for you, if you know how to properly prepare Form 706!
