How To Pay Zero Estate Taxes: Your Guide to Every Estate Tax Break the IRS Allows

by Jeff A. Schnepper

Overview

As Jeff Schnepper says, “Estate taxes are voluntary. You only pay them if you haven’t planned in advance.” Modeled on the best-selling How to Pay Zero Taxes, this book shows how to limit, and possibly even omit costly estate-tax burdens—and covers subjects as broad as living wills, family limited partnerships, private annuities, GRITS, GRATS, GRUNTS, flower bonds, and more.

Reflecting all tax law changes as of January 2000, this helpful guide pinpoints hundreds of perfectly legal deductions, credits, and exemptions. It covers the subject from the basics to the fine points, featuring Q&As for novices, detailed reviews of relevant legal documents, the latest anti-tax “super strategies,” and more—all in Schnepper’s classic legal-guerrilla style.
