Individual Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)

Individual Tax Observations
14
› Tax brackets have expanded and rates have dropped with only a couple of minor exceptions
› Capital gains tax rate remains unchanged› Net investment income tax (3.8% tax) still in effect› Fewer itemized deductions
- Consider bunching of expenses such as large, single-year contributions to a donor advised fund (DAF)
- Consider ways to deduct state and local real or personal property taxes incurred in a trade or business
› Expanded child and dependent credits help mitigate exemption elimination
![Page 15: Webinar - Tax Reform 01 11 18 FINAL - Cohen & Company€¦ · Individual Tax Reform Agenda › Individual tax rates › Standard deduction, exemptions and credits › Itemized deductions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060219/5f06b9377e708231d41969e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Estate and GST Tax
› Estate, gift and Generation Skipping Transfer (GST) taxes retained› Lifetime exclusion amount and GST exemption increased to $11.2 million
but sunsets after 2025› “Stepped-up” basis retained› Observations:
- Very few taxable estates (likely all will be audited now)- State estate taxes may still be applicable (MD, NY, PA, for example)- Increased importance of income tax basis planning - Continued importance of non-tax estate planning- Unclear how sunset or future exemption changes will impact prior year
planning - Will there be a claw-back?- Flexibility will be key
