2010 Repeal of the Federal Estate Tax
Effective January 1, 2010, the federal estate tax and generation skipping transfer (GST) tax are repealed for the year 2010 unless congress enacts further changes. If no further changes are adopted, the federal estate and GST tax will return on January 1, 2011, with a $1,000,000 estate tax exemption (which is significantly reduced from the $3,500,000 exemption that was in effect in 2009). It is unknown if congress will attempt to adopt retroactive changes to the estate tax or if retroactive estate tax imposition would be found to be unconstitutional. Each state may continue to have a separate estate or inheritance tax, although Idaho has not adopted such laws.
