		The "Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001" was passed by both chambers of Congress on Saturday, May 26, 2001 and signed by President Bush on June 7, 2001.
		The alternative minimum tax exemption is increased by $2,000 for single taxpayers and $4,000 for married taxpayers, but only for 2001 through 2004.
		The state death tax credit will be reduced by 25% in 2002, 50% in 2003, and 75% in 2004, and will be repealed in 2005, replaced with a deduction for state death taxes paid.

	Estate Tax Changes
		In addition, EGTRRA provides that the amount of state death tax credit that may be taken against the federal estate tax is reduced by 25 percent for deaths occurring in 2002, 50 percent for deaths in 2003, 75 percent for deaths in 2004 and by 100 percent for deaths occurring in 2005 and thereafter.
		North Carolina updated their reference date to conform to the federal estate tax (including increased exemptions) as of May 7, 2001, but provided (for deaths occurring prior to January 1, 2004) that the amount of the state pick-up tax is to be computed without regard to the phase-out of the credit contained in federal law.
		Legislation passed in 2002 ties the state pick-up tax to the federal code as of May 7, 2002 except that the amount of the state pick-up tax is to be computed without regard to the phase-out of the death tax credit.

	Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 - Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Provisions
		The 2001 Tax Act makes a number of changes in the generation-skipping transfer tax (“GST tax”), which affects transfers to your grandchildren and younger generations, as well as transfers to unrelated persons who are substantially younger than you.
		The 2001 Tax Act also allows trusts that are only partially exempt from GST tax to be severed into two trusts, one wholly exempt and one wholly non-exempt.
		Under the “sunset” provision of the 2001 Tax Act, however, all provisions of the Act are repealed as of January 1, 2011.

	ESTATE PLANNING UNDER THE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND TAX RELIEF RECONCILIATION ACT OF 2001 (2001ACT) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The 2001 Act expands the scope of the estate tax exclusion for gifts of conservation easements by eliminating the requirement that the land subject to the easement be within specified distances of a metropolitan area, national park, wilderness area, or urban national forest.
		The income tax changes made by the 2001 Act, including reductions in income tax rates and increases in the amount of allowable contributions to IRAs and qualified plans, are of relatively little significance to most estate planning clients.
		Although the 2001 Act carves a new 10-percent tax bracket out of a portion of the current 15-percent bracket, it is clear that the new tax bracket is applicable only to living persons since Act Section 101(c)(1) excludes estates and trusts; therefore, estates and trusts will not gain the benefit of the new lower brackets.

	Highlights of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001
		Taxpayers will be entitled to a credit in tax year 2001 of 5% (the difference between the 15% rate and the 10% rate) of the amount of income that would otherwise be eligible for the new 10% rate.
		The Act extends the income exclusion for $5,250 of employer-provided educational assistance to graduate education and makes the exclusion (as applied to both undergraduate and graduate education) permanent, effective with respect to courses beginning after December 31, 2001.
		The Act also increases the size of the 15% regular income tax rate bracket for a married couple filing a joint return to twice the size of the corresponding rate bracket for an unmarried individual filing a single return.

	Estate Tax Relief - Economic Growth and Reconciliation Act of 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The Act introduces provisions that will gradually decrease this so-called "marriage penalty." One such provision is increasing the basic standard deduction for a married couple filing a joint return to twice the basic standard deduction for an unmarried individual filing a single return.
		The Act will also reduce the impact of the "marriage penalty" by making the 15% regular income tax bracket for a married couple equal to double that of the 15% bracket for an individual filing a single return.
		Obviously, that means that the top marginal estate tax rate will revert to 55% (plus a 5% surtax on certain large estates) and the amount exempt from estate taxes will be only $1,000,000 (i.e., the amount that the exemption is scheduled to be in 2006 under current law).

		Tax cut legislation in 2001 created a new 10% income tax bracket below the 15% bracket, which previously had been the lowest tax bracket.
		Previous legislation provided temporary marriage penalty relief for joint filers by increasing both the standard deduction and the amount of income taxed at the 15% rate to twice the comparable amounts for single taxpayers.
		Thus, in 2004, the standard deduction for joint filers and surviving spouses is $9,700 (versus $4,850 for single filers) and the amount taxed at 15% is $43,800 (versus $21,900 for single filers).

		The top tax bracket will be reduced from 55% to 50% in 2002, and then by 1% per year until is reduced to 45%.
		Regardless of whether the Tax Act requires you to make changes to your Will and trust, most individuals want to review their estate plans every few years to ensure that that their plans are consistent with their current wishes, appropriate for their net worth, and to address changes in family situations.

	Connell Foley: A Summary Analysis of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001
		However, the tax code presently exempts $1,060,000 per person (lifetime) from such tax ("generation-skipping transfer tax exemption"), in a similar manner to the lifetime exemption from the estate tax.
		The present law does nothing to alleviate a tax that was originally intended to prevent the ultra-wealthy from using significant deductions to wipe out their income tax liability.
		Furthermore, the repeal of the estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes is not certain, given that a new Congress and President must "re-approve" the death tax repeal less than ten years from now, possibly in an environment where the projected surpluses have disappeared and political control has shifted (as it recently has in the Senate).
