This presentation provides a comprehensive, practitioner-oriented guide to the Illinois estate tax, using The Beatles as tool for understanding. The session covers the statutory foundations and historical evolution of the tax, and tricks for understanding the mechanics of the two-part calculation. The presentation also examines the impact of lifetime taxable gifts on the calculation, residency and domicile considerations, the Illinois generation-skipping transfer tax, and the Illinois-only QTIP election. A summary of some of the current legislative proposals will conclude the morning.
