Ako vypočítať State Inheritance Tax

Čo je State Inheritance Tax?

A state inheritance tax calculator determines whether beneficiaries owe tax on their inherited assets. Only six states levy an inheritance tax: Iowa (repealed after 2024), Kentucky, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Tax rates depend on the beneficiary’s relationship to the deceased.

Vzorec

IA

Inherited Amount ($) — Total value of the inheritance received

Class Exemption ($) — Exemption based on relationship to the deceased

R

Tax Rate (%) — Rate based on relationship class (0–18%)
