Future changes to be aware of:
- Gift and Estate Tax Exemption – Expanded Exemption Set to Expire in 2025: the exemption for gift and estate tax was expanded meaningfully in 2017. In 2022, the lifetime exemption for gift and estate taxes was $12.06mm per individual or $24.12mm per married couple. The expanded exemption is set to lapse in 2025.
- Electric Vehicle and Home Energy Incentives: a law passed in 2022 which provides more detail around eligibility for tax savings. It ended manufacturer caps but added vehicle price caps and income limits. For homes, taxpayers may be eligible for a tax credit of 10% of the cost of certain improvements in 2022, and from 2023-2032 increases to 30% with a $1,200 annual limit.
- Age for Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from retirement accounts: for 2023, the age was raised from 72 to 73, and starting in 2033 will be 75.
