Whether your estate owes federal estate tax under the permanent $15M exclusion — and what the “2026 sunset” answer would have wrongly told you. Computes federal estate-tax exposure under the 2026 rules: a flat $15,000,000 basic exclusion per person, made PERMANENT by OBBBA §70106 — the long-scheduled TCJA sunset to ~$7M never happened, but AI trained before mid-2025 still tells you it did. Accounts for lifetime taxable gifts already made (they consume the unified exclusion) and a deceased spouse’s unused exclusion (DSUE) via portability. Shows the prior-law contrast so you can see exactly how much the “sunset” answer would have overstated your tax, and flags the separate state-level estate taxes (12 states + DC, thresholds from $1M) that the federal all-clear does not cover.
