First Assignment Fall 2020

Taxation: Wealth Transfer Tax

LAW 606 Section 51

John T. Plecnik


Assignment details

Welcome to Wealth Transfer Tax!

Your required text is Dodge, Gerzog, & Crawford, Federal Taxes On Gratuitous Transfers Law and Planning (1st ed. 2011), and all page assignments herein and on your syllabus refer to Dodge.

Your recommended text is Lathrope, Selected Federal Taxation, Statutes and Regulations. However, you may choose to save the money and print out the assigned Code and Regulation sections from Lexis or Westlaw. If you purchase Lathrope, I recommend the most current edition. However, a copy that is one or two years old should do!

For the first week of classes, please prepare Assignments 1 and 2 from your syllabus:

1. INTRODUCTION: THE BASICS OF GRATUITOUS TRANSFERS

Skim the Preface and §§ 1.1 through 1.3 of Dodge. Read §§ 1(e), 101, 102, 262, 1014, 1015.

2. OVERVIEW OF THE FEDERAL TRANSFER TAXES PART I: ESTATE TAX

Read §§ 2.1 through 2.5 of Dodge. Read §§ 2001(b), (c); 2010; 2053; 2503; 2511(a); 2512(b); 2513; 2516; 25.2512-8; 25.2511-2.

See you on Monday at 4:15pm virtually on ZOOM!
