Continuing Legal Education

According to the American Bar Association, gift taxes are imposed on transfers during a lifetime that exceed the exemption limits, and estate taxes are imposed on transfers at death that exceed the exemption limits. The generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax is imposed on transfers to grandchildren and more remote descendants that exceed the exemption limits so transferors cannot avoid transfer taxes on the next generation by "skipping" a generation.

This program provides an overview of the GST Tax and its application, including definitions, and how and when to file GST tax forms when distributions are made. We also talk about how the fiduciary income tax is affected by the recent tax law changes.
