Question 1 Before her death in 2009, Lucy entered into the following transactions. a. In 2000, Lucy borrowed $600,000 from her brother, Irwin, so that Lucy could start a business. The loan was on open account, and no interest or due date was provided for. Under applicable state law, collection on the loan was barred by the statute of limitations before Lucy died. Because the family thought that Irwin should recover his funds, the executor of the estate paid him $600,000. b. In 2007, she borrowed $300,000 from a bank and promptly loaned that sum to her controlled corporation. The executor of Lucy’s estate repaid the bank loan, but never attempted to collect the amount due Lucy from the corporation. c. In 2008, Lucy promised her sister, Ida, a bequest of $500,000 if Ida would move in with her and care for her during an illness (which eventually proved to be terminal). Lucy never kept her promise, as her will was silent on any bequest to Ida. After Lucy’s death, Ida sued the estate and eventually recovered $600,000 for breach of contract. d. One of the assets in Lucy’s estate was a palatial residence that passed to George under a specific provision of the will. George did not want the residence, preferring cash instead. Per George’s instructions, the residence was sold. Expenses incurred in connection with the sale were claimed as § 2053 expenses on Form 706 filed by Lucy’s estate. e. Before her death, Lucy incurred and paid certain medical expenses but did not have the opportunity to file a claim for partial reimbursement from her insurance company. After her death, the claim was filed by Lucy’s executor, and the reimbursement was paid to the estate. Discuss the estate and income tax ramifications of each of these transactions.

1. Under a current proposal in Congress is the elimination of the estate tax while retaining the gift tax rules. Proponents of the estate tax says it allows the wealthy to create multi-generational wealth which does not benefit the country economically. They also argue that it creates family empires. Opponents of the estate tax claim that paying the estate tax causes many families to have to sell family businesses in order to pay the estate tax and that in most cases taxes have already been paid on the accumulated wealth that is being passed on. Describe your position on the estate tax and why it should be maintained, increased, decreased or eliminated according to your beliefs.

Legacy Assurance Plan Of America - Getting a ‘Sturdy’ Estate Plan to Survive...Legacy Assurance Plan Of America
A couple of years ago, a case came before the Court of Appeals in Arizona that involved such a plan. The creator of the plan was a Tucson-area woman who, in her early 70s, decided in 2000 to get her affairs in order. Her 2000 plan included a revocable living trust, a pour-over will and powers of attorney.63. Comprehensive Problem. When Howard Foth died in the current year.pdf
63. Comprehensive Problem. When Howard Foth died in the current year, in addition to his
$11,405,000 of certificates of deposit and investment property worth $200,000, the following
facts were disclosed by the executor:
a. In 1991, Howard Foth decided to see what kind of fiduciary the Bank of Georgia would be for
his assets. However, he did not want to establish an irrevocable trust because the fiduciary might
not perform up to expectations and he might need the property later for his own retirement needs.
Consequently, Howard established a revocable trust funded at $300,000, but the FMV at death
was $700,000.
b. In 2001, Howard Made a taxable gift of $90,000 to his daughter, Bertha. Due to the unified
credit, Howard did not incur any gift tax.
c. In 1999, Howard purchases a paid-up life insurance policy with a face value of $300,000
payable at death to the executor of the estate to use against any estate taxes that might be due.
d. In 1987, Howard's mother had left him a general power of appointment over a trusted value at
$215,000. This power was subject to the standard of comfort.
e. Funeral expenses were $30,000, and admin expenses of $70,000 are considered necessary for
Howard's estate.
f. Howard left his wife, Bella, $600,000 outright in certificates of deposit.
g. The executor paid $40,000 in state death taxes to the state of Georgia.

In 2000- June- A 75-year-old widow- creates an irrevocable trust namin.docx
In 2000, June, A 75-year-old widow, creates an irrevocable trust naming her five adult grandchildren as the beneficiaries. The assets transferred in trust consist of marketable securities (worth $800,000) and June\'s personal residence (worth $400,000). Bob, June\'s younger brother and a practicing attorney, is designated as the trustee. Other provisions of the trust are as follows:
Bob is given the discretion to distribute the income to the beneficiaries based on their need or add it to corpus. He is also given the power to change trust investments and to terminate the trust.
The trust is to last for June\'s lifetime or, if sooner, until termination by Bob.
Upon termination of the trust, the principal and any accumulated income are to be distributed to the beneficiaries (June\'s grandchildren).
For 2000, June files a form 709 to report the transfer in trust and pays a gift tax based on value of $1.2 million ($800,000 + $400,000).
After the transfer in trust and up to the time of her death, June continues to occupy the residence. Although she pays no rent, she maintains the property and pays the yearly property taxes. June never discussed the matter of her continued occupancy of the residence with either Bob or the beneficiaries of the trust.
Upon June\'s death in 2008, the value of the trust is $2.3 million, broken down as follows: marketable securities and cash ($1.6 million) and residence ($700,000). Shortly thereafter, Bob sells the residence, liquidates the trust, and distributes the proceeds to the beneficiaries.
What are the estate taxes consequences of these transaction to June?
Solution
Since she pays her property taxes, there are no tax consequences on June.
However on selling the house, her children will have to pay tax on capital gains from the increase n the value of the house. To avoid this tax, they will have to live in the same house for two years.

Solution
The irrevocable trust was created which will continue for the June but it cannot be terminated by the Bob. As per the provisions of internal revenue service when the assets are placed in the irrevocable trust then the grantor of the asset is not under the ownership of the asset and thus when he dies, the assets will not be liable for the estate taxation as they are the assets of the trust and not under the ownership of the grantor.

Question 5. Look how great we are doing,” said Sawyer Mittlestaed.docx
Question 5.
“Look how great we are doing,” said Sawyer Mittlestaedt, president of Elliott Company. “Our sales have grown from $1.6 million to $2.0 million this year, we about doubled our warehouse space, and we have more cash in the bank than we started with. A few more years of growth like this and we’ll be tops in the industry.”
“Yes, our statements look pretty good,” replied Endia Bush, the company’s vice president for finance. “But I have concerns that we’re doing business with a lot of companies we don’t know much about. But I do agree, we’re certainly selling a lot of merchandise; our inventory is actually down from last year.”

Theories of International Relations: Realism and Liberalism
This week we will begin by examining realism and liberalism, which are two of the major paradigms of international relations.
Realism focuses on the problems of international conflict. All realist theories share four central assumptions. First, realism places immense emphasis on the idea that international politics is anarchic. An anarchic system creates a security dilemma, where states are forced to arm themselves, but this can lead to an arms race. A second assumption of realism is that states are the central actors in international politics. Third, realists view states as unitary actors or as a single coherent entity. Fourth, realists assume that state behavior is rational.
Within the realist paradigm, it is also important to understand that the distribution of power is the most important force in international politics. Because power plays a central role in realist theories, defining and measuring power are critical. Both military power and economic power are important to any understanding of realism.
One variant of realism is balance of power theory, which suggests that power will be relatively evenly distributed in the world because states will counter each other’s attempts to dominate.
Another variant of realism is hegemonic stability theory. This theory contradicts balance of power theory because it argues that stability results not from a balance among the great powers, but from unipolarity where one dominant state ensures some degree of order in the system.
Realism is criticized for a variety of reasons. First, some believe that anarchy is simply an historical circumstance, which may now be replaced by another condition. Second, some believe that it is no longer valid to focus exclusively on the state, because nonstate actors are becoming increasingly important. A third criticism focuses on the assumption that the state is unitary and rational. Many reject this hypothesis, arguing instead that there are many different variables that influence a state’s foreign policy.
Liberalism is another major paradigm within international relations. Liberalism centers on the rights of the individual, arguing.

“Look how great we are doing,” said Sawyer Mittlestaedt, president of Elliott Company. “Our sales have grown from $1.6 million to $2.0 million this year, we about doubled our warehouse space, and we have more cash in the bank than we started with. A few more years of growth like this and we’ll be tops in the industry.”
“Yes, our statements look pretty good,” replied Endia Bush, the company’s vice president for finance. “But I have concerns that we’re doing business with a lot of companies we don’t know much about. But I do agree, we’re certainly selling a lot of merchandise; our inventory is actually down from last year.”

Theories of International Relations: Realism and Liberalism
This week we will begin by examining realism and liberalism, which are two of the major paradigms of international relations.
Realism focuses on the problems of international conflict. All realist theories share four central assumptions. First, realism places immense emphasis on the idea that international politics is anarchic. An anarchic system creates a security dilemma, where states are forced to arm themselves, but this can lead to an arms race. A second assumption of realism is that states are the central actors in international politics. Third, realists view states as unitary actors or as a single coherent entity. Fourth, realists assume that state behavior is rational.
Within the realist paradigm, it is also important to understand that the distribution of power is the most important force in international politics. Because power plays a central role in realist theories, defining and measuring power are critical. Both military power and economic power are important to any understanding of realism.
One variant of realism is balance of power theory, which suggests that power will be relatively evenly distributed in the world because states will counter each other’s attempts to dominate.
Another variant of realism is hegemonic stability theory. This theory contradicts balance of power theory because it argues that stability results not from a balance among the great powers, but from unipolarity where one dominant state ensures some degree of order in the system.
Realism is criticized for a variety of reasons. First, some believe that anarchy is simply an historical circumstance, which may now be replaced by another condition. Second, some believe that it is no longer valid to focus exclusively on the state, because nonstate actors are becoming increasingly important. A third criticism focuses on the assumption that the state is unitary and rational. Many reject this hypothesis, arguing instead that there are many different variables that influence a state’s foreign policy.
Liberalism is another major paradigm within international relations. Liberalism centers on the rights of the individual, arguing.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Question 1Before her death in 2009, Lucy entered into the follow.docx
- 1. Question 1 Before her death in 2009, Lucy entered into the following transactions. a. In 2000, Lucy borrowed $600,000 from her brother, Irwin, so that Lucy could start a business. The loan was on open account, and no interest or due date was provided for. Under applicable state law, collection on the loan was barred by the statute of limitations before Lucy died. Because the family thought that Irwin should recover his funds, the executor of the estate paid him $600,000. b. In 2007, she borrowed $300,000 from a bank and promptly loaned that sum to her controlled corporation. The executor of Lucy’s estate repaid the bank loan, but never attempted to collect the amount due Lucy from the corporation. c. In 2008, Lucy promised her sister, Ida, a bequest of $500,000 if Ida would move in with her and care for her during an illness (which eventually proved to be terminal). Lucy never kept her promise, as her will was silent on any bequest to Ida. After Lucy’s death, Ida sued the estate and eventually recovered $600,000 for breach of contract. d. One of the assets in Lucy’s estate was a palatial residence that passed to George under a specific provision of the will. George did not want the residence, preferring cash instead. Per George’s instructions, the residence was sold. Expenses incurred in connection with the sale were claimed as § 2053 expenses on Form 706 filed by Lucy’s estate. e. Before her death, Lucy incurred and paid certain medical expenses but did not have the opportunity to file a claim for partial reimbursement from her insurance company. After her death, the claim was filed by Lucy’s executor, and the reimbursement was paid to the estate. Discuss the estate and income tax ramifications of each of these transactions.
