Expected 2015 Tax Changes

February 26, 2014

Major tax changes are not expected for 2014 due to upcoming elections. However, the 2014 Green Book proposals foreshadow possible changes for 2015 that would affect estate planning. These Green Book proposals could change requirements and considerations for:

Estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax
Grantor trusts
Grantor retained annuity trusts
Estate planning generally
Retirement accounts
