a. No estate tax will be due if Laura has no prior year transfers.
b. For estates of any decedent passing away in calendar year 2020, the basic exclusion amount is $10,000,000.
c. Laura will owe estate tax because her estate is more than $5,000,000 in 2020.
d. Estate tax is due because $10,000,000 is less than Laura's basic exclusion amount.

Respuesta :

Based on current tax laws, a. No estate tax will be due if Laura has no prior year transfers.

From the year 2018 to 2025:

  • Single taxpayer estates have a basic exemption of $11.58 million
  • Married taxpayer estates have a basic exemption of $22.36 million

This means that if Laura's estate made no transfers in prior years, her estate would be below the exemption amount of $11.58 million and there would be no estate tax.

In conclusion, there would be no estate tax.
