As we narrow in on the sunset of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, many practitioners will be suggesting that their relevant clients make gifts. In this episode of the PFP Section podcast, Bob Keebler, CPA/PFS, and Larry Brody, JD, discuss what needs to be known when valuing life insurance policies for the purpose of filing gift tax returns, including:
- What do we need to know about the IRS regulations?
- Can you get a valuation in lieu of relying on the IRS regulations?
- What value should be used when given a series of values on Form 712?
- What if you don’t agree with the Form 712 values?
