Plain-English Summary

The proposal would eliminate the federal estate tax, which currently applies to the inheritance of very large estates (generally over $13 million per person) and requires heirs to pay taxes on the value of what they inherit. This would primarily benefit wealthy families and business owners who pass down large amounts of money or property to their heirs, while reducing federal tax revenue that currently funds government programs. The change would have little to no effect on most Americans, since the estate tax only applies to a small percentage of the wealthiest estates in the country.
