Course Description

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 made fewer changes to the transfer tax rules than the legislation did to the other subsections of the Internal Revenue Code. Even so, the changes that were actually made open up brand new opportunities for taxpayers of all levels of wealth. This program will briefly detail what changes were made and suggest approaches to apply them depending on the nature of the client.

Learning Objectives

  • Educate the viewer about the new law’s changes to the estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax rules.

  • Suggest to the viewer some planning techniques to use in light of these new rules.

  • Analyze the implications of the “sunset” of the changes on December 31, 2025 and discuss how to handle the associated legislative uncertainty.
