Estate Tax

The federal estate tax lapsed on Jan. 1, 2010. Under current law, the tax returns with a vengeance. With Congress action--only $1 million per estate will be exempt from a stiff 55% tax. Compare that the $3.5 million exemption and a 45% rate in 2009. 


All 2010 deaths of Virginia residents will be treated as a 2009 death for estate tax.
