Venn Diagrams: The Intersection of Estate and Income Tax (Planning in the ATRA-Math) (from Annual Virginia Conference on Federal Taxation 2015) (Online Seminar)

A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the June 2015 live seminar, 67th Annual Virginia Conference on Federal Taxation.

Post-ATRA planning will increasingly focus on income tax planning, the management of tax basis, and maximizing the “step-up” in basis at death. This presentation will discuss:

• Measuring the transfer tax costs against the income tax savings from the “step-up” on different types of assets
• Recapturing assets that have already been transferred
• Multiplying the applicable exclusion amount
• Using trust and partnership elections, distributions, and reorganizations to maximize the “step-up” and “split” income across taxpayers
• Using debt to reduce estate tax exposure but maximize the “step-up”
• Planning around the net investment income tax
