  • Step-Up Insights: Understanding Income Tax Basis in Estate Planning
    Jul 16 2025

    In this episode of TFE Talks, host Jordan Goewey welcomes Matt Edwards as they dig into income tax basis, explaining how it determines taxable gains when selling assets. During the conversation, Jordan and Matt explore how basis is established through purchase, gifting, or inheritance, with a particular focus on the critical "step-up in basis" rule that occurs when assets are inherited. The podcast provides valuable insights into estate planning strategies, such as strategically transferring assets to minimize tax liability and the potential benefits of holding appreciated assets until death. Key takeaways include understanding that basis is typically the original purchase price, assets can receive a new basis at death, why individuals should consult professionals to navigate complex tax implications when buying, selling, or transferring assets, and so much more.
