green sklarz llc: New Haven CT & Estate Portability: Examine of Estate Returns Clarified
- 03/10/18 03:34 AM
As part of our tax and estate planning practice in Connecticut and New York we do a lot of planning and estate administration.

Each estate has an applicable exclusion amount that it will not pay any estate tax. Federally in 2018 this amount is $11.2 million, and Connecticut is $2.6 million, but increasing over the next several years until it matches the federal … (1 comments)
