re: I don't understand inheritance tax

The current estate tax exemption for a married couple is $10.8 Million and it is automatically adjusted for inflation every year.

A couple can also give $28,000 every year to anybody they want to tax free; sons, daughters, grandchildren, hired help, friends, etc etc.

If you're super wealthy then you're smarter than I am or have hired someone smarter than I am and have set up a myriad of estate tax loopholes like a grantor retained annuity trust to shield the income above $11 million.

Kind of a silly thread but it was entertaining to see the uninformed Trump voters chiming in with their strong completely baseless comments though.
