The 2010 Tax Act provides that the estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax exemptions are tied to inflation from 2011. Hence, the IRS has announced the estate tax exemption, gift tax exemption and even the generation-skipping transfer tax exemptions will increase to $5,120,000 effective January 1, 2012.
Of course, please remember that if the law does not change, the estate and gift tax exemptions will revert to $1,000,000 on January 1, 2013.
