Understanding The Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax (40-Page Book)

Author’s NOTE: The generous GST exclusion available in 2020 is subject to political risk. The current GST exclusion of $11.58 million per person may not survive beyond 2020. The law allows use of this exclusion for current transfers as well as for amending previously filed gift tax returns using current valuations where the amount given was above the then-applicable exclusion, but now within the current exclusion amount. Advisors will serve their clients well by discussing with them the use of the GST exclusion while it remains at its current level.
