New 2026 Estate Tax Exemption Amount
The IRS has increased the estate exemption amount, potentially benefiting inheritances and estates in the upcoming tax year.
Some states, such as Massachusetts, impose their own estate tax with lower exemption amounts, like $2 million, which is not indexed for inflation.
- Nebraska imposes an inheritance tax on adult children when inheritances exceed $100,000.
- Kentucky exempts only $1,000 for nephews and nieces.
The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) was implemented to ensure higher-income taxpayers pay a minimum amount of tax.
Before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), 5.2 million Americans paid the AMT, according to Tax Policy Center data.
