Common questions
What is the 2025 exemption?
$13.99M per individual for 2025 US federal estate tax; $27.98M for a married couple with portability. The exemption is scheduled to drop in 2026 unless Congress acts.
Does this include state estate tax?
No — several states levy their own estate or inheritance tax with much lower thresholds. Check your state's rules separately.
