Is estate planning tax deductible?

  • In previous years, estate planning was tax deductible — Certain estate planning costs used to be tax deductible, like legal fees and expenses. These deductions would apply in instances where they were subject to collecting or producing income.
  • As of right now, estate planning is not tax deductible — After the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed, these legal fees and expenses are not tax deductible according to the IRS. Using tax deductions for estate planning used to be a means of saving money when transferring wealth. Now, those who hope to save money while transferring their wealth must use other methods to do so.
