										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 class="viewsHeaderText">The U.S. is giving up on taxing inheritances &#8211; The Death Tax Repeal Act of 2025: What You Need to Know</h1>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">Congressional Republicans are proposing to permanently allow wealthy families to pass on more of their assets tax-free, as the federal government all but abandons taxing large inheritances.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">Under current law, estates pay tax only on transfers above $13.99 million for single filers and $27.98 million for married couples. Those thresholds, doubled by President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax law, are scheduled to fall by roughly half at the end of 2025. But in the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/06/16/trump-tax-bill-senate-republicans-child-tax-credit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;destination&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:1,&quot;c.t&quot;:7}">tax bill before Congress</a>, both the House and Senate versions would raise the exemption starting next year to $15 million for individuals and $30 million for couples, then set them to adjust for inflation in the future.</p>
<p class="continue-read-break" data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">Though they represent a small part of the overall costs of Trump’s tax bill, these changes are set to weaken an estate tax that already affects fewer households than it has in decades. When the federal estate tax was first imposed in 1934, roughly 8,600 deaths resulted in estate tax liability, or 0.9 percent of adult deaths. In 2019, the most recent year for which IRS data is available, only 2,100 deaths resulted in estate tax liability, or 0.08 percent of deaths. The proposed increases are expected to reduce that share even more.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">“The estate tax is barely hanging on right now,” said Steve Wamhoff, federal policy director at the left-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. “This bill would make sure it almost disappears.”</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">The estate tax has proved divisive in Washington, as Republicans have for years sought its eradication. When someone dies, their assets become an estate. For 2025, only the portion of an estate above $13.99 million per person — a limit that also absorbs any large gifts made while someone is alive — is subject to the federal estate tax, and only the value over the exemption is taxed, at rates that top out at 40 percent. Twelve states and D.C. impose their own estate or inheritance taxes with lower thresholds and a variety of rates.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">While the tax’s defenders say it is necessary to curb dynastic wealth at a time of rising inequality, conservatives have long argued the policy unfairly hits the same taxpayer twice because it taxes assets that were originally accumulated after their owners paid income taxes. Levies on consumption, many economists say, are more effective and efficient ways to make the tax code fairer.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">The provision raising the limit is not considered controversial among Republicans and is expected to pass without dissent among the GOP ranks in either the House or Senate. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota), who has sponsored Senate legislation to outright repeal what Republicans call “the death tax,” has said doing so is necessary to prevent cash-poor firms, including family farms, from selling off equipment or land to pay the tax.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">The estate tax changes in the current GOP tax bill will cost the federal government roughly $210 billion over the next 10 years, according to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">“It’s a tax on savings, and there’s a double-taxation issue — you earn the money, you paid taxes, and then the government comes after you again when you die,” said Michael Strain, an economist at the American Enterprise Institute, a center-right think tank. Strain said that the levy “creates weird perversities: Two people who know they’re going to die — one buys cocaine and goes to Vegas and gambles and pays no tax, the other gives money to kids and pays the tax.”</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">Several decades of GOP influence on federal policymaking have whittled down the estate tax. Before President George W. Bush’s 2001 tax cuts, about 2 percent of estates paid the levy, far more than do now. Even those estates who do owe the tax often reduce or eliminate their liability, said Howard Gleckman, senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, through trusts, valuation discounts and life-insurance strategies.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">Republicans under Bush sought to eliminate the estate tax, but because of Senate rules settled for merely shrinking it — a strategy the party has replicated under Trump.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">“Having an estate tax that affects so few heirs allows this massive intergenerational transfer of wealth that keeps the rich richer and gives them the opportunity to get even richer,” Gleckman said.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">The effects of the weaker estate tax on inequality are hard to measure. But federal data suggests that inequality has broadly continued to rise: The average wealth of a family in the top 10 percent soared from roughly $3 million in 1989 to more than $9 million in 2022, according to the latest nonpartisan <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2024-10/60343-family-wealth.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;destination&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:1,&quot;c.t&quot;:7}">Congressional Budget Office report</a>. Over the same period of time, those in the bottom 10 percent found their average wealth rising from $27,000 to $74,000, the report found.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}">“The estate tax is one of the few federal policies that can slow down the growing wealth gap and this enormous growth in inequality,” said Wamhoff, of the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. “We’re basically not taxing generational wealth at all right now.” <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/taxes/the-u-s-is-giving-up-on-taxing-inheritances/ar-AA1GWE2M?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&amp;cvid=204f2eb4b6844f2bbbec80ec745c01f0&amp;ei=18" target="_blank" rel="noopener">source</a></p>

<h1 id="pageTitle">The Death Tax Repeal Act of 2025: What You Need to Know</h1>
<div id="keyContent">
<p>On February 13, 2025, Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives and the Senate introduced the Death Tax Repeal Act (the “Act”). The Act aims to permanently eliminate the federal estate tax, often referred to as the “death tax,” and would significantly alter the future landscape of estate taxation. Variations of the Act have been introduced in Congress each year since 2015 but have failed to become law each time. However, with each reintroduction, support of such legislation has consistently increased year over year.</p>
</div>
<div id="itemContent">
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>The Internal Revenue Code (the ”Code”) currently imposes tax on an individual’s right to transfer property to others, both during life and at death. For transfers of property during life, the federal gift tax is imposed at a rate of 40%. For transfers of property at death, the federal estate tax is also imposed at a rate of 40%. However, the Code provides each individual with what is known as the “unified credit,” allowing each individual to transfer a certain value of assets tax-free during their lifetime or at their death. In 2025,  the unified credit is $13,990,000. Any amounts transferred in excess of this $13,990,000 figure, either during life or at death, are subject to the 40% tax.</p>
<p>The Code imposes an additional tax, known as the federal generation-skipping transfer tax (“GST Tax”), on transfers to individuals who are in a generation two or more below the transferor, whether those transfers are made during life or at death. However, the Code also provides each individual with an “exemption,” or tax-free amount, before the 40% GST Tax applies. That exemption is currently equal to the unified credit amount of $13,990,000.</p>
<p>Currently, the unified credit and exemption are at an all-time high. Under the first Trump administration, the unified credit and exemption were doubled as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”). The TCJA has a sunset date of January 1, 2026. This means if no action is taken to extend the TCJA, the unified credit and exemption will return to their pre-TCJA level on January 1, 2026, effectively cutting the current unified credit and exemption in half. If the TCJA does sunset, the unified credit and exemption available to individuals in 2026 will be approximately $7,000,000.</p>
<h2>Key Provisions of the Death Tax Repeal Act</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Permanent Repeal of the Estate Tax and GST Tax</strong>: The Act would permanently eliminate the federal estate tax and GST Tax, allowing individuals passing away after adoption of the Act to transfer an unlimited amount of property at death free of tax.</li>
<li><strong>Permanent Gift Tax Exemption and Reduced Gift Tax Rate</strong>: The Act would impose a permanent lifetime gift tax exemption of $10,000,000, as adjusted for inflation (adjusted to $13,990,000 in 2025). Effectively, the current unified credit for gift tax would become permanent and would only be used for transfers made during life, as transfers at death would be free of tax as outlined above. Transfers made during life in excess of this exemption would be subject to a reduced 35% tax rate.</li>
<li><strong>Retention of the Step-Up in Basis</strong>: The Act would maintain the current “basis adjustment” that occurs at death. In other words, if an individual dies owning appreciated assets, those assets would receive a full “step-up” in basis to the date of death fair market value. This would allow beneficiaries to minimize capital gains taxes upon the subsequent sale of any inherited asset.</li>
</ol>
<p>Passage of the Act could have a significant impact on estate and wealth transfer planning efforts. <a href="https://www.koleyjessen.com/insights/publications/the-death-tax-repeal-act-of-2025-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener">source</a></p>

<p id="mntl-sc-block_2-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html">Section 179 of the U.S. internal revenue code is an immediate expense deduction that business owners can take for purchases of depreciable business equipment instead of capitalizing and depreciating the asset over a period of time. The Section 179 deduction can be taken if the piece of equipment is purchased or financed and the full amount of the purchase price is eligible for the deduction.</p>

<div id="mntl-sc-block-callout-body_1-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block">
<ul>
<li>Section 179 of the IRC allows businesses to take an immediate deduction for business expenses related to depreciable assets such as equipment, vehicles, and software.</li>
<li>This allows businesses to lower their current-year tax liability rather than capitalizing an asset and depreciating it over time in future tax years.</li>
<li>Section 179 is limited to a maximum deduction of $1,080,000 and a value of property purchased to $2,700,000 for the year 2022.<span class="mntl-inline-citation mntl-dynamic-tooltip--trigger wrapped" tabindex="0" data-id="#citation-1">1</span></li>

<p id="mntl-sc-block_7-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html">Taking the cost of the equipment as an immediate expense deduction allows the business to get an immediate break on their tax burden whereas capitalizing then depreciating the asset allows for smaller deductions to be taken over a longer period of time. The Section 179 expensing method is offered as an incentive for small business owners to grow their businesses with the purchase of new equipment.</p>
<div id="mntl-sc-block_8-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div>
<p id="mntl-sc-block_9-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html">Section 179 expense deduction is limited to such items as cars, office equipment, business machinery, and computers. This speedy deduction can provide substantial tax relief for business owners who are purchasing startup equipment. The equipment must qualify for the deduction per the specifications within Section 179 of the tax code and the purchase price must be within the dollar amount ranges allowable by the code. The property must be placed in service during the tax year for which the deduction is being claimed. Equipment covered by the Section 179 deduction might also qualify for bonus depreciation, which further reduces the business owner&#8217;s tax bill.<span class="mntl-inline-citation mntl-dynamic-tooltip--trigger wrapped" tabindex="0" data-id="#citation-2">2</span></p>

<p id="mntl-sc-block_12-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html">The maximum amount you can elect to deduct for most section 179 property you placed in service in tax years beginning in 2022 is $1,080,000, according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which also limits to the total amount of the equipment purchased to a maximum of $2,700,000 in order to qualify.<span class="mntl-inline-citation mntl-dynamic-tooltip--trigger wrapped" tabindex="0" data-id="#citation-1">1</span></p>

</div>
<p id="mntl-sc-block_14-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html">Equipment, vehicles, and/or software purchased under Section 179 must be used for business purposes more than 50% of the time to qualify for the deduction. Simply multiply the cost of the equipment, vehicle(s), and/or software by the percentage of business-use to arrive at the monetary amount eligible for Section 179.<span class="mntl-inline-citation mntl-dynamic-tooltip--trigger wrapped" tabindex="0" data-id="#citation-2">2</span></p>

<p id="mntl-sc-block_17-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html">Imagine that a company has purchased a new piece of machinery used 100% for business purposes at a cost of $50,000 and zero salvage value. The company could take that asset and depreciate over the course of 5 years as $10,000 each year. Section 179 would instead allow the company to write off the entire $50,000 in the current year. <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/section-179.asp#:~:text=Section%20179%20of%20the%20IRC,time%20in%20future%20tax%20years." target="_blank" rel="noopener">source</a></p>

<h2 class="cmsms_heading">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)</h2>
</div>
<div class="cmsms_text">
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>What is the Section 179 Deduction?</strong> The Section 179 Deduction is a U.S. tax law designed to encourage businesses to buy equipment and invest in themselves. It allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment purchased or financed during the tax year from their gross income, reducing overall tax liability.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>What qualifies for Section 179? </strong>The Section 179 Deduction encompasses a broad spectrum of business equipment including machinery, office furniture, computers, software, and select business-use vehicles. Importantly, both new and pre-owned equipment can be eligible, provided it’s ‘first use’ occurs within the business during the tax year the deduction is being claimed. To qualify, the equipment must be purchased and operational within the same tax year.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>Can I claim the Section 179 deduction for used equipment?</strong> Absolutely. Section 179 deduction is applicable to both new and pre-owned equipment. The stipulation for qualifying is that the equipment should be procured and set in use during the same tax year the deduction is filed for.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>Can software qualify for the Section 179 Deduction?</strong> Yes, it can. Off-the-shelf and custom-built software can qualify under Section 179 deduction, given that it’s available for general public purchase, not significantly modified, and utilized for income-generating business activities.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>What types of businesses can use the Section 179 Deduction? </strong>Any business that purchases, finances, and/or leases new or used business equipment during tax year 2024 should qualify for the Section 179 Deduction.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>Are there any limits to the Section 179 Deduction?</strong> Indeed, there are caps to the Section 179 Deduction. For the tax year 2024, the total write-off limit stands at $1,220,000, and the cap on the total equipment purchased is $3,050,000. The deduction begins to decrease on a dollar-for-dollar basis once the aggregate equipment procurement surpasses this threshold.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>How is the Section 179 Deduction Calculated? </strong> The Section 179 Deduction is calculated by subtracting the full purchase price of qualifying equipment from your gross income. However, there are limits on the total amount you can write off ($1,220,000 for 2024), and on the total amount of equipment purchased ($3,050,000 for 2024).</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>What’s the difference between Section 179 and Bonus Depreciation?</strong> While both Section 179 and Bonus Depreciation offer substantial tax benefits for businesses investing in new equipment, they do differ. Section 179 allows businesses to deduct the full cost of equipment up to a certain limit, whereas Bonus Depreciation allows for depreciation of 60% of the cost of the asset for the year 2024, with no spending cap.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong><b>Bonus Depreciation vs Section 179: Is it better to take Bonus Depreciation or Section 179?</b> </strong>Both Section 179 and bonus depreciation offer significant tax benefits, but their applicability differs based on individual business circumstances. While Section 179 allows full cost deduction up to a certain limit, bonus depreciation facilitates 60% depreciation of the cost of qualifying property for the year 2024. Section 179 needs to be applied first, and any remaining cost can then be depreciated using bonus depreciation. Importantly, Section 179 has a spending limit on equipment, which bonus depreciation does not. It’s advisable to consult with a tax advisor or CPA to determine the best option for your business.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>Can I lease or finance equipment and still take a Section 179 Deduction? </strong>Yes, equipment acquired through capital leasing or a non-tax capital lease can qualify for the Section 179 deduction. This makes it an attractive option for businesses that want to procure equipment without significant upfront costs.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>What is Section 179 Qualified Financing?</strong> Section 179 Qualified Financing refers to the financing option available for businesses that enable them to finance new or used business equipment while taking full advantage of the Section 179 Deduction. This can often lead to a scenario where the tax savings from the deduction will exceed the payments, making it a profitable decision for the tax year. However, it’s always best to consult with a tax professional or financial advisor to understand how Section 179 Qualified Financing can work best for your specific business situation.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>Can I use Section 179 for vehicles used in my business?</strong> Yes, many business vehicles that are used for over 50% business purposes will qualify for the Section 179 Deduction. However, there are specific restrictions and limits depending on the type of vehicle.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>Does the equipment have to be new to qualify for Section 179?</strong> No, both new and used equipment can qualify for the Section 179 Deduction, as long as the equipment is “new to you”, meaning it’s the first time the equipment has been used in your business.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>Is there a deadline for the Section 179 Deduction?</strong> Yes, the Section 179 Deduction must be claimed for the tax year that the equipment is acquired and placed in service. That means if you want to deduct the cost of equipment from your 2024 taxes using Section 179, the equipment must be acquired and put into use by December 31, 2024.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>When can I apply for the Section 179 Deduction?</strong> The Section 179 Deduction can be claimed for the tax year that the qualifying equipment is purchased and put into use. This means, for instance, if you purchased and started using a piece of equipment anytime in 2024, you can claim the Section 179 Deduction when filing your taxes for 2024.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>Can I amend my tax return to claim a Section 179 Deduction I missed?</strong> Yes, you can amend a return to claim Section 179 for a previous year, but there are specific rules about how and when you can do this. You should consult with a tax professional to help guide you through this process.</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr"><strong>How does the Section 179 deduction affect my taxes? </strong>The Section 179 deduction allows you to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment from your gross income. This reduces your taxable income and thus, your tax liability for the year.</h4>

<h3><strong>Does my business qualify for Section 179?</strong></h3>
<p>The short answer – yes.</p>
<p>Applicable for both new and used equipment, Section 179 allows companies to write off the full purchase amount for qualified equipment in the year it is purchased.</p>
<p>All businesses (small, medium or large) that purchase within 2020 are eligible. The spending cap for the “total amount written off” is $1,040,000, while the “total amount of equipment purchased is” is $2,590,000 – once $2,590,000 is hit, the deduction begins to “phase out on a dollar-for-dollar basis.” This is a huge benefit to small and medium-sized businesses since they usually don’t hit that high of an expense.</p>
<p>Eligible equipment can range from production machines, office furniture, vehicles and even software.</p>
<h3><strong>Interested in taking the Section 179 Deduction?</strong></h3>
<p>In order to qualify, equipment purchase/lease must be between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020. To take the Section 179 deduction, the IRS has provided <a href="https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4562.pdf">Form 4562</a>.</p>
