If recieving an inheritance, do you have to pay taxes on that inheritance? If so, how much should be expected
Q. If recieving an inheritance, do you have to pay taxes on that inheritance? If so, how much should one expect to pay? Can that payment be made immediately?
Asked by mradigan747 - Sun Dec 16 10:37:47 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. In the US, technically, you do not pay taxes on money and property you inherit - the estate pays the taxes and you receive what is left. As with all taxes, Congress keeps things stirred. I am not sure what the current limits are, or what revisions the Democrats may come up with, but if the entire estate is not worth more than $1 million, you shouldn't have any death taxes due, at least as it stands now. That is, at least at the federal level - each state may have its own inheritance tax laws.

How do I report inheritance when I file my taxes?

A. For federal purposes you only have income if the estate sent you a 1041 schedule K-1. That happens only if the estate had income (like interest) and felt it would be cheaper overall to let you pay the tax rather than have them pay the tax and send you the difference.

How do I calculate estate & inheritance taxes for a life policy?
Q. I am putting a client in a $4Mil life insurance policy and its my first one. Do you know how I can calulate his estate and inheritance taxes? He owns about $1.5 Mill in real estate. Thank you.
Asked by Fred - Sat Feb 21 18:30:17 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It is my understanding that if the proceeds of a life insurance policy go directly to the beneficiary, then there is no Estate Tax since the proceeds are not part of the estate. There is also no Income Tax on the proceeds of an insurance policy. There would only be Estate Tax if the proceeds of the policy were paid directly into the estate thus becoming part of the estate's value. Only if the estate were valued at over $3.5 million in 2009 would there be an Estate Tax paid by the estate before the estate is disbursed. As to Inheritance Tax, each state is different and Inheritance Taxes are paid by the recipient of the Inheritance. Some states, like California, have no Inheritance Tax, while other states, like New Jersey do. However,… [cont.]

If you get divorced, but received an inheritance when you were married, if your partner entitled to half?
Q. Do you get to keep your inheritance since it was specifically given to you in a will, or is your partner entitled to half of it? Assuming there's no pre-nup.
Asked by katiejohan - Tue Oct 28 08:26:07 2008 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It would depend entirely on the laws in your state. In California, an inheritance is considered "sole and separate" property unless the property or money is co mingled with marital property or money. So if you inherited money and put it in a separate account with only your name on it, then it is your money alone. But if you deposited the check into a joint account with your spouse, then it becomes community property and the spouse owns half. If you inherited property and your name alone is on the deed, then it is your property. If you put you spouse's name on the deed, then it is community property and the spouse then owns half.

Q. How did the laws of inheritance proposed by Mendel help in the development of the chromosome theory of inheritance?
Asked by unifancy - Sat Nov 29 20:09:01 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Mendel didn't know about chromosomes. What Mendel did show was that when genetic information is passed on to the offspring, the information remains as discrete packets of information (genes), even if the information is not expressed. This was in contradiction to the prevailing theory of "blending of essences". This explained how a blond-haired child could come from two brown-haired parents. He also showed that different traits were inherited independently of each other. He didn't know it at the time, but that traits were inherited independently because they were on different chromosomes, and the chromosomes are inherited independently. The later chromosomal theory of inheritence had to be consistent with Mendels genetics.

A. Mendel didn't know about chromosomes. What Mendel did show was that when genetic information is passed on to the offspring, the information remains as discrete packets of information (genes), even if the information is not expressed. This was in contradiction to the prevailing theory of "blending of essences". This explained how a blond-haired child could come from two brown-haired parents. He also showed that different traits were inherited independently of each other. He didn't know it at the time, but that traits were inherited independently because they were on different chromosomes, and the chromosomes are inherited independently. The later chromosomal theory of inheritence had to be consistent with Mendels genetics.
