President Biden has proposed a number of large spending bills that will need to be funded via tax increases and/or deduction deletions if passed by Congress and signed into law. Currently there are a number of changes to the tax laws that could have a significant impact on your estate planning. These are increases in IRS enforcement for wealthy taxpayers, a big one is the elimination of the step-up in basis at death for investments, increases in the top income tax rate and eliminating the benefit of using 1031 exchanges.
