[@bucko1948]

@@justinh6974 This could have been solved with life insurance....only problem is so many so-called "financial planners" are focused only upon portfolio growth and ignorant as to what life insurance is all about. Example. Take out a new mortgage. Put money into a life insurance policy. Make the mortgage payments via the life insurance policy. Upon death, use the life insurance proceeds that are tax free to pay the mortgage or taxes. BTW, there is a 12.5 million dollar estate tax exemption. I'm not an expert, but I do know a lot. Check with an estate planning attorney who knows what you can do with life insurance. And PS, no, I am not an insurance agent. I don't remember if this new mortgage brings a new stepped-up basis. Use the exemption for home sales. If so, sell to a controlled entity. Again, any decent financial planner should know this.....but they don't.

[@priestesslucy]

This sad reality is one step closer as of this march when Irrevocable Trusts lost Step-Up Basis. If Step-up Basis goes away entirely then the only way to mitigate capital gains eating your home will be to sell it yourself in ways that mitigate capital gains (such as the 250,000$ exemption that hasn't been adjusted for inflation in decades >_>)

Why? 1) No reference was made to the House Ways & Means vote on (Sept. 16, 2021)and the final Draft proposal (which of course can be changed later if they want to). Why is this important? This House Dem W&M draft did not even take up the question of step up basis, largely because Richard Neal (the House Ways & Means Chairman) said there was a great deal of pushback from rural Dems in Congress (including David Scott D-GA, AG Chairman) who were against ending step up basis and realization at death. They need to get 218 votes, and he said they didn't have them for full step up repeal. As such, they didn't even vote on repealing it and they didn't include it in the W&M draft. This caused great frustration among progressives in Senate and house who still want a change. But, fast forward a week or so later, Ron Wyden (Senate Finance Chairman), Ron Wyden (House Ways & Means Chairman), Pelosi, and Schumer, met with Biden in White House to discuss a secret menu of options for potential tax increases to pay for Build Back Better Bill. Again, step up basis repeal was NOT included in this loose "framework" agreement. Remember, the Dems only have a 3 seat safety seat threshold in house and zero room for error in the tied 50-50 Senate, put simply they can't lose any support or votes. Almost 12-15 Dems in House and at least 1-2 in Senate (John Tester, perhaps Manchin or Sinema) are against step up repeal to my knowledge. I even called multiple Dem Congressmen/women and they too are against ending step up. Tester is strong on this issue and very vocal about it. As of September 14, 2021, "Senator Jon Tester of Montana, a Democratic moderate, said through a spokesman that none of the inheritance-transfer tax proposals he has been offered so far are acceptable and he will continue to oppose them on behalf of family farms, ranches, and small businesses." Also, when asked about why step up basis was not on the list of menu options in White House September 24, 2021, Democratic Chairman Richard Neal quickly said he had "no interest" in rekindling the debate on Stepped up basis and at the moment (no) it was not on the menu. A day later, Biden pivoted and called for taxed unrealized gains annually on billionaire appreciated earnings annually (i.e. Wyden plan) due in large part to his earlier failure to garner enough support for the alternative plan i.e. step up basis repeal. Although everything is still on table and it would be silly to not prepare, I find it weird that this video doesn't address these important developments.

If passed this would destroy family farms. A farm your parents bought in the 1950s for $50,000 could easily be worth 2 million on paper, but still only produces income for a modest living. Most small farmers are land rich and cash poor. In my example, if you inherited a $2 million dollar farm you'd owe 25% on the amount over the 1million$ exemption. ($250,00). Very few small farmers are going to have that kind of cash and will end up having to sell off a significant part of the farm to pay the tax. Then they're left with a farm that produces even less income. It's a death spiral.

Also, it will be interesting to find out the unintended consequences of these laws. For example, people will want to invest in something tax free to protect themselves from inflation. There will probably untraditional ways to invest that will become more popular. My second thought is that people need to have their children either become a tax accountant, lawyer or estate planner (or marry one). The politicians think that they will get a lot more tax revenue, but people will find out how to avoid it.

How about if you leave Roth IRA assets to your kids when you die? Is that still protected from capital gains on the assets?

[@ericbatres3511]

Thank you for the information regarding this tax situation 👍❗️

[@coloradoblue262rodeo3]

You might find this interesting. I wrote above that I think Rabalais is a great guy and clearly provides a great service and he seems smart, but I too agree there are real issues with the video's timeliness and updates with legislation in this video. Why? 1) No reference was made to the House Ways & Means vote on (Sept. 16, 2021)and the final Draft proposal (which of course can be changed later if they want to). Why is this important? This House Dem W&M draft did not even take up the question of step up basis, largely because Richard Neal (the House Ways & Means Chairman) said there was a great deal of pushback from rural Dems in Congress (including David Scott D-GA, AG Chairman) who were against ending step up basis and realization at death. They need to get 218 votes, and he said they didn't have them for full step up repeal. As such, they didn't even vote on repealing it and they didn't include it in the W&M draft. This caused great frustration among progressives in Senate and house who still want a change. But, fast forward a week or so later, Ron Wyden (Senate Finance Chairman), Ron Wyden (House Ways & Means Chairman), Pelosi, and Schumer, met with Biden in White House to discuss a secret menu of options for potential tax increases to pay for Build Back Better Bill. Again, step up basis repeal was NOT included in this loose "framework" agreement. Remember, the Dems only have a 3 seat safety seat threshold in house and zero room for error in the tied 50-50 Senate, put simply they can't lose any support or votes. Almost 12-15 Dems in House and at least 1-2 in Senate (John Tester, perhaps Manchin or Sinema) are against step up repeal to my knowledge. I even called multiple Dem Congressmen/women and they too are against ending step up. Tester is strong on this issue and very vocal about it. As of September 14, 2021, "Senator Jon Tester of Montana, a Democratic moderate, said through a spokesman that none of the inheritance-transfer tax proposals he has been offered so far are acceptable and he will continue to oppose them on behalf of family farms, ranches, and small businesses." Also, when asked about why step up basis was not on the list of menu options in White House September 24, 2021, Democratic Chairman Richard Neal quickly said he had "no interest" in rekindling the debate on Stepped up basis and at the moment (no) it was not on the menu. A day later, Biden pivoted and called for taxed unrealized gains annually on billionaire appreciated earnings annually (i.e. Wyden plan) due in large part to his earlier failure to garner enough support for the alternative plan i.e. step up basis repeal. Although everything is still on table and it would be silly to not prepare, I find it weird that this video doesn't address these important developments. It makes me wonder if 1) Rabalais is using information from headlines in Spring 2021, or 2) if he knows something we don't, or has access to Congress now? Can he or anyone clarify? Thoughts? I really want to know.

Wow, what a terrible way to prevent any family from ever having the opportunity to build generational wealth?

[@glasslinger]

This was the intent of the legislation. These generational billionaires are in power due to their ancestors luck, not because they deserve the billions! The lower limit will allow small farms and businesses to be exempt. Also family homes.

[@therealtimray]

@@glasslinger it seems to be geared to prevent any other families from being able to get out of poverty. The families who have previously "made it" will be just fine. But current families in poverty will find it even harder to build family wealth. A very sad day indeed.

[@standudek1372]

How will family farms survive

[@DPearls24]

So the bottom line is that inherited property is taxed as a Cap Gains. Does the estate pay the tax or the receiver (who is also the estate)? How does that work out? Property bought at $50k, appreciates to $500k. It goes to the estate when the surviving spouse passes. That would mean the estate pays taxes on the $450k of gains?

[@03bruisercat]

Except currently proposed rule has a $1m exemption, so it would not apply to your fact pattern.

[@marilyncole3560]

You mentioned something about assets that were transferred to a revocable living trust and if the person inherits from the revocable living trust is that exempt? What if you inherited a house two years ago and did not sell it but kept it and now you want to sell it. Before you paid the tax on the difference of the value at the time of death and the and the sale price. How would that be with the new proposal? Or because the death was two years ago it would be under the different ruling? So should you sell the property now before the change starts

[@MellowGreetings]

How can we expect brokerages to deal with Transfer On Death (TOD) accounts? Will they liquidate all assets, withhold the taxes for the executor to deal with, and then distribute what's left in an equitable fashion to the beneficiaries? Or will they carve up the assets and distribute them untaxed to the beneficiaries, leaving some with a bigger tax burden than others?

If this passes, you'll see a boom in limited partnership and LLC entities for holding assets so the units can be discounted for illiquidity and passed $15k/yr to one's children. At least that's what I'll do with my mark-to-market assets. It's going to be a paperwork nightmare. Thank you so much for sharing this. Please continue to update.

@@coloradoblue262rodeo3 I will give you the bottom line that I see. Marxist, Democrats are using every tool in their arsenal to put the middle class out of business, especially farmers and ranchers. You know this "tax the rich" is not about the rich at all. It is about destroying the middle class, which "taxing the rich" will eventually accomplish.

[@1pcmedic]

The "bottom line" is, don't vote DEMOCRAT. You can say it.

[@KanataVIP]

This is how it works in Canada. When you die, you are deemed to have disposed of your assets. To a Canadian, the idea that you can pass on an estate with $12M in assets and unrealized capital gains tax-free and with a step-up in basis to an heir sounds like an unfair advantage to families with that level of assets. These videos do an excellent job of explaining some of the important rules regarding estates.

[@budubeebobop]

No one i know is rich by amy means or puchased any 1.2m property but maybe some cheap out in the mifdle of nowhere property that is now worth more. The idea is that would be for retirement (as part ofntkaing care of yourself not relying on government to make those decisions for you) OR perhaps leaving to your family to help THEM get ahead

[@mb-3faze]

So, in Canada, for example, when your mother (now widowed) is living in a house in West Vancouver purchased for $50k, now worth $2.5million, gets run over by a bus, the kids have to sell the house to pay 40% tax on just under $2.5million?

[@KanataVIP]

@@mb-3faze In Canada a personal residence is not subject to capital gains, even if it's a $45M property. Three should be a limit on this exemption.

[@mb-3faze]

@@KanataVIP Same as the UK but not in the States. It's a bizarre situation but through no fault of my own I cannot move and buy a similar primary residence in a different part of the country because I can't afford to pay the million or so in tax. There is a primary residence exemption but that is woefully behind the property inflation index.

[@KanataVIP]

@@mb-3faze The USA used to have a provision where the gain on a house was not immediately taxable if you bought another house of equal or greater value. Makes sense. Not sure if it still exists.

How about correcting the value for inflation first? Isn't that where much of the increase in value comes from? What about home improvements? You could double the size also "doubling your investment". Then you get taxed on the new value? Both feel like robbery.
