Is it correct to say that the estate tax on estates over $1million and under $2 million is 1.6%?
Is it correct to say that the estate tax on estates over $1million and under $2 million is 1.6%?
My source is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estate_tax_in_the_United_States
Looks like the max estate tax is now 23%.
My only confusion is regarding the Tentative Tax discussed in this same article in which the rates are much heavier. I guess I’m asking how does that Tentative Tax relate to the estate tax?
Thanks for any advice!
