FAQ FRIDAY - October 3, 2008

Q. My father died in New Jersey and was a resident there and I live in Pennsylvania. What Inheritance tax do I have to pay?
A. Inheritance tax returns are due depending on where the decedent was domiciled (lived). Some states do not have an inheritance tax. New Jersey and Pennsylvania both do but because your father was a resident of New Jersey and the inheritance tax to children is zero; there will be no inheritance tax due for anything that you inherit.
