| 1 For estates of decedents dying in 2024, the Connecticut estate tax exemption was the same as the federal exemption ($13.61 million in 2024). The estate tax rate is 12% for amounts in excess of the exclusion. 2 In Kentucky, the top inheritance tax rate is 16 percent (exemption threshold for Class C beneficiaries: $500; exemption threshold for Class B beneficiaries: $1,000; Class A beneficiaries, which is the majority, pay no inheritance tax). 3 Maryland’s inheritance tax does not apply to a child or direct descendent, the spouse of a child or direct descendent, a spouse, parent, grandparent, sibling, stepchild or stepparent. For others there is is a tax of 10% 4 In New Jersey, spouses, domestic partners, civil union partners, parents, grandparents, children (including stepchildren), grandchildren (but not step grandchildren) are exempt from the inheritance tax. The $25,000 inheritance tax exemption applies to brothers and sisters of the decedent and spouses or civil union partners of the decedent’s child. There is no exemption for any other person who inherits. 5 In Pennsylvania, the inheritance tax does not apply to surviving spouses, to a parent from a child aged 21 or younger, and to or for the use of a child aged 21 or younger from a parent. The Pennsylvania inheritance tax rates differ depending upon who inherits (children, grandchildren and spouses of children pay a 4.5% rate, while brothers and sisters pay a 12% rate, and all others pay a 15% rate). Adult children, grandparents, and parents are exempt up to $3,500. | |||
