New 2024 Gift and Estate Tax Limits

[@cbritz123]

So glad I found this specific video on gifting. Trying to learn what we can for administration on Grandma's living trust (she is 91 years young!) Thank you for these invaluable videos Counselor!

[@BobPicc1]

Thanks Paul! This is excellent information, and you presented it very clearly and understandably.

Thanks again!! 👍👍👍👍

[@GeorgeYao-q9j]

Excellent and simple explanation that I ever heard and understand. Thanks.

Question. If you are 50 with $4 million invested having 50% in etfs based on broad indexes (Dow, Spy, Nasdaq) and 50% money market. Is this $ enough to retire? I rent a 2 bedroom apartment, no debt, no kids. I also ask because I have slight back pain sitting at PC 8 hours a day. I wonder how long I can endure it. I anticipate 6% returns but the past 30 years seem like a rosey picture. Thanks.

[@insightstoenjoyingmore2621]

I really enjoyed this one. I don't have anywhere near the 13.xx million that I have to worry about but I know some are in the millions. I am just a mediocre disabled veteran that is trying to find a lawyer in Tx to write up a special needs trust for my son who has aspergers, (high functioning autism) that does not like to talk to people or leave the house. He lives w/ a roommate in TN and I am in TX. He said he doesn't even see him very often. LOL.

Hey, have you guys been keeping an eye on the stock market lately? It's been pretty volatile,I lost almost $60,000 in my stock portfolio. but you know what they say - no fear, right?

[@Defisher]

Absolutely! It's all part of the game. I've learned not to let short-term fluctuations get to me. In the grand scheme of things, the market tends to bounce back.

[@icewa-fg]

True, but it's hard to ignore all the noise and speculation. There's always some news or another causing ups and downs. How do you guys manage to keep that "no fear" attitude?

[@Tsunaniis-j5l]

That's a good point. I was thinking about reaching out to a financial advisor to get their take on the current market situation. With all the optimism, it might be a good time to reassess my investment strategy.

[@Damncars456]

I totally agree. A financial advisor can provide valuable insights and help ensure that our investment portfolios are aligned with our long-term financial goals. They have the expertise to navigate through market fluctuations and make informed decisions.

Always great videos

Hi, which method can prevent Medicaid from disqualifying a home owner if they receive/own or transfer a house? A life estate won’t work due to Medicaid applying a disqualifying period. An irrevocable trust might not get step up basis unless there’s a specific clause? Does Medicaid consider a Medicaid recipient as trustee to own any portion of property?

Good overview of the 2024 updates. Look forward to reviewing your video on irrevocable trusts. One small item at 12:18 you state the gift amount as $8000, instead of $18,000. I have appreciated many of your videos, including this one. Keep up the great work!

My brother and his malignant narc wife have taken over the probate process on my mother's will. She goes with him to meet with the lawyer who must believe everything they tell him to do his job. Unfortunately, they lie. A lot. About many things. His wife is having more input into this than my other brother and I. How can I best protect my interest and that of my other brother? Please answer or direct me to where I might get an answer. Thank you,

The utilization of after-tax money and tax-free growth makes opening a Roth IRA very advantageous. Through a careful guidance of my FA, I did not pay taxes on my withdrawals of $2.86 million when I retired.

[@StellaMaris-lv2uq]

I don't regret the numerous financial mistakes I've made in the past since I've learnt from them. But the biggest one was planning my finances without consulting with a licensed financial counsel.

[@maryHenokNft]

Indeed, I did make use of a financial counselor. As I get closer to retirement, their advice has been really helpful. I thought compound interest on index funds wouldn't be sufficient because I started late. It's amusing how I've done better than colleagues who have more years of investment experience. I've profited more than $886k tax free.

[@maggysterling33254]

@@maryHenokNft Please who is the consultant that assists you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?

*Camille Alicia Garcia* is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. By looking her up online, you can quickly verify her level of experience. She is well knowledgeable about financial markets.

Thanks for the advice. The search for your coach was simple. I investigated her well before using her services. Considering her résumé, she appears competent.

Any changes for the Estate Tax for non resident alien??

[@mrbigcat9]

Can I gift the max dollar amount for that year to the some person year after year (for the next 20 years) with out filing a Form 709, United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return?

[@rwyatt5292]

It would be helpful to see a video on specific examples of gifting to an adult child or minor grandchild. My attorney has said my wife and I could send a check in the amount of $34,000 to a grantor irrevocable trust (he is trustee and beneficiary). I have seen comments from others saying we had to send two $17,000 checks one from my wife and one from me). If we gifted $34,000 in stock from a joint account to the trust would we have to handle it any special way to let the IRS know the gift is really from both of us. Same questions about giving to the trust in minor grandchild’s name. How does the IRS view the ways normal people may actually gift. I’m sure there are many situations that would be of interest. Have you ever had to answer questions like this in an audit?

[@muminab9701]

So if I give my daughter 17k gift she doesn’t have to claim it as income? Or pay taxes on it?

[@art_without_borders]

That’s correct.

[@economicdevelopmentplannin8715]

You can give any amount to anyone and the recipient pays no taxes

[@srae1503]

Can you talk about incomplete gifts? If your name was listed on the title of a relatives home with them, but you had no control of that property, nor were responsible for any repair or maintenance, didnt know you were on the title and the relative could have changed that at any time. Does this qualify as an incomplete gift when the relative dies?

[@srae1503]

If this could quality as an incomplete gift do we get step up in value and not have to pay taxes on the value of the home when we sell it from the date she put us on the title?

[@30pvfd]

What is the cut off month for gifting in 2023? Can you gift 17k in Dec 2023 then in 18K in Jan 2024?

[@discerningacumen]

will the "Estate Tax Exclusion Amount" be applied to NRA in the same way with US citizens as well?

[@xrpwatts2116]

I am looking at inheriting a quarter of my dads estate making between 500 to 750 thousand dollars will i have to pay tax on this and how much in taxes will i have to pay?

[@dudleybrown7030]

So you can transfer in a year with a high estate tax exclusion, and the exclusion amount doesn't apply in the year you die? I always thought the exclusion applied in the year you died.

[@grim8367]

Hello, I'd like to ask for a consultation about my late husband who is an American citizen that died in the Philippines 20years ago, could I claim some benefits?

[@peterwright837]

Does the $15k threshold for the trust income apply to irrevocable trusts such as bypass and Qtip or marital deduction trusts? Can it be avoided if the trust distributes its income to the beneficiaries?

[@alanaldpal950]

At 12:19 you summarized that the gift exemption level is increasing to $8,000 instead of what you correctly said earlier in you video would be $18,000

[@americasestateplanninglawy1946]

Thanks!

[@nidasalvador9705]

Thank u

[@art_without_borders]

The real question is: what would happen if I gift my daughter, let’s say $20K, and do not report the difference to IRS. My best guess: nothing is going to happen.

[@soullessdevice]

Almost zero chance of that itself being an issue. However, if anything else caught the eye of the IRS, then they could add it to that 2k discrepenacy to potentially make enough of a case to build against you to make it worth their while to fine you.

[@art_without_borders]

@@soullessdevice Thank you for your response.

[@earthangel2590]

I could use some direction here. What do you do if the executor of a parent's estate (coming up on the year anniversary of my dad's death) has not distributed our (4 children) inheritance? The oldest is the executor for me and my other 2 brothers. The only thing I have received is a bond right after dad died. He comments that we need to get together but never calls the meeting.

[@bekind2047]

I suppose for this there are lawyers.

[@connieholmes8936]

If I give my child $$$ each year, is there anyway to stipulate the money is to be used to build a mother’s apartment onto their house. This build would belong to them.

[@bobfmirvine6652]

The recipient never pays the gift tax, the giver owes the gift tax, if any!

[@alanaldpal950]

Better double check with your particular state about state taxes due. I believe you are correct……. For now
