The New York estate tax exemption is a certain amount of money that can be passed on to heirs without being subject to the state’s estate tax. For 2023, the estate tax exemption is $6.26 million. However, this exemption is scheduled to increase to $9.1 million in 2025. This means that individuals who pass away in 2025 or later will be able to pass on more of their assets to their heirs without having to pay estate taxes.
The increase in the estate tax exemption is a significant benefit for New York residents. It will allow them to pass on more of their wealth to their loved ones without having to worry about paying a large tax bill. This can provide peace of mind and financial security for families.
