What is the name of your state? OHIO
I am trying to determine if my father's estate exceeds the $338,333 limit for filing and are unsure how some things are included. We have an attorney but need to transfer some properties and we need an estate tax exemption form to proceed with transfer.
a) Life insurance was all left to beneficiery. Three policies had a cash value that did not exceed the death benefit. Is the cash value included in gross value of estate?
b) Father and daughter jointly own farm that has been in CAUV program for years. Do we use market value or CAUV value in determining gross estate value? Do we use 1/2 of that value since farm is owned jointly.
c) Father and daughter registered as JT WROS on Vanguard investment account. (This is the property we are in the process of transferring.) Is the whole value of this account used in determining gross estate value or only 1/2 of value.
d) Are POD accounts included in estate gross value?
Thank you!
