The Massachusetts Estate Tax applies to a surprisingly large portion of the middle class, not just the top 1%.<\/p>\n<p>The estate tax is a transfer tax that is imposed on the value of the assets owned by a decedent at the time of death if the value of the estate exceeds the filing threshold. The filing threshold was set in 2006 at $1 million and has not been adjusted for inflation or been otherwise revised. Between inflation, a soaring housing market and a long-running, bull stock market, many Massachusetts decedents are reaching the Massachusetts filing threshold and are required to pay estate taxes to the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the following example of a single person dying with the following gross estate (having made no lifetime gifts):<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"210\">House:<\/td>\n<td width=\"51\">$\u00a0 535,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"210\">Bank Accounts &amp; CDs:<\/td>\n<td width=\"51\">$\u00a0 200,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"210\">IRA:<\/td>\n<td width=\"51\">$\u00a0 350,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"210\">Automobile:<\/td>\n<td width=\"51\">$\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a015,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"210\">Gross Estate:<\/td>\n<td width=\"51\">$1,100,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Further, assume $50,000 in deductions, resulting in a $1,050,000 taxable estate.\u00a0 The personal representative (formerly called an \u201cexecutor\u201d) of the estate will have to pay a tax attorney or accountant to prepare the Massachusetts Estate Tax Return and pay the Commonwealth $20,500 in Massachusetts Estate taxes before distributing any of the estate to the children or other heirs.<\/p>\n<p>And it gets worse. What if the real estate in our example had been located near the ocean and was worth $1,000,000, so our decedent\u2019s estate was worth $1,565,000 before deductions? In this case, the Massachusetts estate tax would be $65,360, which is one third of the available cash in the bank!<\/p>\n<p>Part of the problem (in addition to the filling threshold not having been adjusted in 16 years) is that once the $1 million filing threshold is crossed, the estate tax applies to everything over $40,000, with tax rates ranging from 0.8% to 16%. In other words, the first $1 million is not exempt from tax.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, help may be on the way. Two Massachusetts Democrats recently submitted legislation that would increase the Massachusetts estate tax filing threshold to $2 million to help mitigate what has become a crippling tax on the middle class and is resulting in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/2021\/12\/28\/snowbird-bill-aims-to-keep-mass-seniors-from-leaving-state-for-lower-estate-taxes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retirees leaving the Commonwealth<\/a> to live in one of the 33 states with no estate tax.
