Section 5: 23–33%R20
Estate, Gift, and Trust Taxation
Exam Insight
The transfer-tax system and fiduciary income tax tie together gift exclusions, the unified estate-and-gift exemption, and the DNI limit on trust deductions. OBBBA made the higher exemption permanent, so the exam now tests a stable, large exclusion amount.
