Estate & Gift Tax Update
In the first installment of a two-part series, the AICPA reviews the most important developments affecting estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax and trust income tax over the last 12 months. In the period from June 2012 through May 2013, the analysis covers legislative developments, rulings, pending cases, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 and inflation adjustments for 2013. The second installment, coming in October, will focus primarily on GST and estate tax issues.
