Course Description
The federal gift tax often comes as a surprise to clients who want to transfer wealth to family members. There is often confusion about how gifting works, what forms need to be filed, and how it can affect estate planning. This program offers a clear, concise and practical review of what the gift tax is and how it works. Now that portability rules have been made permanent, there are significant opportunities for planning using gifting on the part of a surviving spouse. In addition, the lifetime exclusion and the generation skipping transfer (GST) tax exclusions have been enhanced significantly.

Upon completing this course you will be able to:
- Describe what the federal gift tax is and how it works
