The Estate Tax is a tax on your right to transfer property at your death. It consists of an accounting of everything you own or have certain interests in at the date of death (Refer to IRS Form 706). The fair market value of these items is used, not what their values were when you acquired them. The total of all of these items is your "Gross Estate." The includible property may consist of cash and securities, real estate, insurance, trusts, annuities, business interests and other assets.

Estate Tax
The money and property you own when you die (your estate) may be subject to federal estate tax if the estate is worth more than the applicable exclusion amount.

Gifts that aren't taxable include tuition, medical expenses, gifts to your spouse, gifts to a political organization and charitable donations.

You could pay lower taxes on appreciated securities by giving them to your child.

If you gave someone gifts valued more than $12,000, you must report the total gift to the IRS and may have to pay tax on the gifts. If you're Married Filing Jointly, the tax-free amount doubles to $24,000. If you or your spouse make a gift to a third party, the gift can be considered as made half by you and half by your spouse (known as gift splitting).

The person who receives your gift doesn't have to report it to the IRS or pay gift or income tax on its value.

Most relatively simple estates (cash, publicly traded securities, small amounts of other, easily valued assets, and no special deductions or elections or jointly held property) with a total value under $2 million and a date of death in 2006 or 2007 do not require the filing of an estate tax return.

Additionally, the person who receives your estate generally won't have to pay an estate tax or an income tax on the value of the inheritance.

Reduced Tax on Appreciated Securities
If you give your child appreciated securities (such as stock or mutual fund shares), the tax bill on the increase in value is passed on to the child along with the gift.
