Accordingly, if it is not used during a particular year, the opportunity to use that year's annual donee exclusion vanishes. The use of reciprocal transfers to multiply the benefits of the annual donee exclusion is not permitted. IRS Code §2503(b) The exclusion is available only when the gift transfer consists of a present interest (i.e., an interest or estate commencing in possession or enjoyment immediately). No exclusion is available for a gift made to a trust for the transferor's descendants or other donees where the value of a particular beneficiary's right to income cannot be determined. 1997 IRS unified credit: $600,000 2001 IRS unified credit: $675,000 2002 IRS unified credit: $1,000,000 2003 IRS unified credit: $1,000,000 2004 IRS unified credit: $1,500,000 2005 IRS unified credit: $1,500,000 2006 IRS unified credit: $2,000,000 2007 IRS unified credit: $2,000,000 2008 IRS unified credit: $2,000,000 2009 IRS unified credit: $3,500,000 Though the estate tax is repealed for 2010, by current law it is resurrected in 2011 and the unified credit (estate tax exemption) will be set back to $1,000,000.
