If you’re married, since each of you can donate, you and your spouse can donate $32k to as many people as you want without gift tax consequences. And then, on top of that, when you pass away, you’ll have an estate tax basic exclusion amount of $12,060,000 to protect the rest of your estate from the 40% estate tax. Many experts did not anticipate that the estate tax exclusion amount would remain so high for 2022, but as of now, it’s $12.06m for estates of people who pass away in 2022. I, for one, certainly realize that this tax only impacts a very small percentage of people or families in America today, but when it does apply, the tax owed after the death of a family member can be staggering ........................... .......

New Law Ends Automatic Driver's License Suspensions For Drug Crimes.......Massachusetts. March 30, 2016Updated 03/30/2016 2:20 PM........ By Amy Gorel...... Gov. Charlie Baker signing a bill that would end the automatic suspension of a drug offender's driver's license. (@MassGovernor/Twitter) closemore Gov. Charlie Baker signing a bill that would end the automatic suspension of a drug offender's driver's license. (@MassGovernor/Twitter) On Wednesday, Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law a bill that repeals most of a 1989 tough-on-crime measure that automatically suspends the driver's license of a person convicted of drug crimes. The bill, which passed unanimously in both chambers, also waives a $500 reinstatement fee drug offenders had to pay to get their licenses back. “As the Commonwealth takes important steps to battle substance abuse and reexamine our criminal justice system, I am pleased to sign legislation providing opportunities for those convicted of drug offenses and who have served their time to re-enter society, find and keep a job and support their families,” Baker, a Republican, said in a statement. About 7,000 people had their licenses suspended in 2015 — even if the drug conviction did not involve operating a vehicle, Senate President Stan Rosenberg, a Democrat, said in the governor's office statement. And of those people who had their licenses suspended, a senator had previously testified, about 2,500 were able to pay the reinstatement fee, while another 700 were rearrested for driving without a license. The new law, which takes effect immediately, provides exceptions for the suspension of licenses of people convicted of serious drug trafficking crimes and for those convicted for driving under the influence of drugs. Public safety officials, including the Massachusetts Sheriffs Association and Attorney General Maura Healey, had backed repealing the 1989 law. With additional reporting from WBUR's Ne
