Federal Estate Taxes

How Much Estate Tax Might You Owe?

If upon your death the total value of your estate is less than the applicable exemption amount, no federal estate taxes will be due.

Taxes are an important consideration in distributing your estate because the money your estate pays in taxes will not be available to your heirs. Each estate is allowed a federal estate tax exemption � an amount that can pass transfer-tax-free, either through lifetime gifts or at death. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the federal estate tax with a top tax rate of 40 percent. In 2019, only estates valued at about $11.4 million (or $22.8 million for some married couples) or more may be subject to the federal estate tax. If upon your death the total value of your estate is less than the applicable exemption amount, no federal estate taxes will be due.
