Future of the Federal Estate Tax Website Covers it All
Recently I came across a terrific website written and maintained by New York Law School L.L.M. candidate Hani Sarji that summarizes it all when it comes to collecting and organizing the latest information about whether the federal estate tax will stay or go in 2010: Future of the Federal Estate Tax.
One section of the website lists all of the estate tax bills actively in front of Congress and provides a useful summary of the contents of each bill: Federal Estate Tax Bills in Front of Congress.
A quick review of this section reveals that there are currently 16 bills that address estate tax reform in some shape or form circulating in the House and three circulating in the Senate. Stay tuned for a review of S. 2784 - "A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to permanently extend the estate tax as in effect in 2009, and for other purposes" - it was just introduced in the Senate on November 17 by Sen. Thomas R. Carper (D-DE) and Sen. George V. Voinovich (R-OH) .
Last but not least another section of the website provides links to the latest news on the status of federal estate tax repeal, or not: Progress in Congress. When I reviewed this section at the beginning of the week there was an article which speculated that there was a very good chance that the estate tax debate would reach the floor of the House sometime this week, but yesterday there was an update stating that "House Democrats are likely to delay consideration of estate tax legislation until after the Thanksgiving recess." Or maybe after the new year.
If you want to keep up to speed on the latest estate tax news through the website, you can subscribe to updates via email or through an RSS reader.
