Are you aware of the deadlines for gift and estate taxes? Unlike traditional tax schedules, gift, estate, and inheritance taxes don’t have a specific day each year that they are due, making it easy to accidentally miss a deadline resulting in penalties or late fees.

Understanding Gift & Estate Taxes

Gift and estate taxes are a set of taxes imposed on gifts, inheritances, and estates. These taxes are separate from any other income tax you may owe in the same period.

When a gift or estate becomes taxable is dependent on which state you live in.
