Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Clint's entire estate passes to his spouse or to qualified charitable organizations such as the Lutheran Church, then no federal estate tax will be due on his death in 2017. This is because the unlimited marital deduction allows a decedent to pass an unlimited amount of assets to a surviving spouse without incurring estate tax. Additionally, charitable gifts are generally exempt from estate tax.
