Lower the Amount of Taxes You’ll Pay for Life

This white paper discusses tax planning from a federal estate and gift tax perspective for 2022 and many of the techniques discussed could reduce your overall income tax burden. *

In the white paper we discuss:

• Making gifts to children and grandchildren while incurring little or no gift tax;
• Avoiding gift tax reporting by making direct tuition payments for any individual;
• Excluding from gift taxes all payments you make directly to medical providers on behalf of another individual (subject to limitations);
• Superfunding a 529 college savings plan;
• Charitable gifts; and
• Other advanced planning techniques. **

Updating your tax strategy now — before the current Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”) rules expire — could lower the amount of taxes you’ll pay for LIFE. Please contact us and we will share more details.

* You should consult your own tax, legal and financial advisers about your individual circumstances and
before engaging in any transaction. The ability of a taxpayer to make tax-free transfers is subject to a variety of limitations depending on the donor’s specific tax situation.

**Although the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”) made significant changes to our tax code, the transfer tax system remained relatively unchanged. The most notable change in the TCJA was the doubling of the estate and gift tax exclusion amount and the generation skipping transfer (“GST”) tax exemption amount. The TCJA also made numerous changes that may impact certain family businesses and private foundations.
