The only constants: taxes and tax law changes

Article Abstract:

The Taxpayer Relief Act signed by Pres Bill Clinton in Aug 1997 changes several tax rules and provisions affecting estate and charitable gifting and creates insurance planning implications. The Act increased the amount of property an individual can pass free of federal estate taxes from $600,000 to $1 million. It also provided more than $1 million in exclusion for family business owners and an additional benefit for individuals regarding generation skipping transfer taxes.
