Estate tax valuation update

The IRS has $80 billion in new funding -- a more than 50% increase from prior levels -- and most is aimed at beefing up enforcement.

Audit rates have declined over the last several decades, but the risk of audit and review is increasing, and higher-income taxpayers expect to see the largest increase in scrutiny.

Additionally, the Treasury Department released its fiscal 2024 Greenbook in March, and three of its proposals could significantly affect businesses. Those proposals concern:
-The valuation of promissory notes -Partial/fractional interests -Trust assets

This session will aim to update your knowledge of important topics related to business valuation in an estate planning context.

The discussion will also touch on the impact of: -The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act -Recent court decisions -Real-world complex estate and gift tax valuation issues

Key Topics

  • Revision of rules for valuation of certain property
  • Valuation of promissory notes, partial/fractional interests, and trust assets
  • Court cases, other legislative risks, and general observations

Learning Outcomes

  • Identify proposed legislation that may affect business valuation in an estate planning context.
  • Recognize observations from recent court decisions involving business valuation.
