Episode 3534: Jeremy explores how thoughtful tax strategies can preserve more wealth across generations, showing that avoiding estate tax is often simpler than it seems while uncovering less obvious pitfalls around gifting and inheritance. By examining concepts like stepped-up basis and retirement account withdrawals, he highlights how small decisions today can significantly impact what heirs ultimately keep. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.gocurrycracker.com/multi-generational-tax-minimization/ Quotes to ponder: "The basis on inherited assets is stepped up to the market value at the time of death." "We need to take the Goldilocks approach… not too much, not too little." "When a gift is made, the recipient’s basis in the asset is equal to the lower of the original owner’s basis and the current market value."
