This session highlights the federal tax issues associated with estate and gift tax issues. Under current rules, few taxpayers are subject to estate and gift taxes given the doubling of the Unified Tax Credit (UTC) by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. But the UTC is due to return to the pre-2017 figures adjusted for inflation in 2026. In addition, there is sentiment by the president and some members of Congress to reduce the UTC even further. Hence, tax planning before 2026 may be something to consider at this time.
