$3,000 exclusion to the extent they exceed $3,000 in value. A
$3,000 exclusion may be taken per transferee, per calendar
year.
For example, if the decedent transferred $10,000 within
one year of death, $7,000 would be subject to tax.

any exclusion if applicable. This is the amount subject to

IRAs, ANNUITIES AND PENSION PLANS
IRAs are fully taxable if the decedent was 59½ years of age
or older or considered disabled at any age.
If the decedent was younger than 59½ years of age, the
IRA is taxable only if he or she was disabled and not sub-
ject to the 10 percent penalty imposed by the IRS for a pre-
mature withdrawal.
Annuities are fully taxable.
Employer-sponsored retirement and/or pension plans are
exempt from tax if the decedent, during his lifetime, did not
have the right to possess, enjoy, assign or anticipate the
payments made. A pension plan where the decedent’s only
rights were to designate a beneficiary and receive a regular
monthly payment are not subject to tax.
IMPORTANT: When a retirement and/or pension
plan is reported as being exempt, a copy of the plan
summary is required.
JOINT TENANCY
Any assets made joint with another person within one year
of death are fully taxable. The transferee may claim a
$3,000 exclusion.
RETAINED REVERSIONARY INTEREST
Transfers where the decedent reserved the right to regain
or reassert control of the asset are taxable if the reversion-
ary interest exceeds 5 percent of the value of the trans-
ferred property.
LIFE ESTATE
Transfers in which the decedent reserved a life interest are
fully taxable. This includes transfers where the decedent
expressly or impliedly reserved for life or any period which
does not, in fact, end before death, the income or enjoy-
ment of the property.
For example, a reservation of a life interest includes the
right to use or occupy the property or receive rents.
Continued occupancy without the payment of rent would
subject the property to tax.
PROMISES BY TRANSFEREE
Transfers in which the transferee promises to make pay-
ments to or care for the transferor during the remainder of
the transferor’s life may be subject to tax.
REVOCABLE AND TENTATIVE TRUSTS
Trusts include transfers under which the decedent had the
power to alter, amend, or revoke the interest of the benefi-
ciary, e.g. In trust for (ITF) accounts.
