Inheritance Tax: Pennsylvania
How is Inheritance tax different from Estate tax?
The difference between estate taxes and inheritance taxes is who is responsible for paying the tax. Estate taxes are imposed on the deceased person; from business, investment or other assets not willed or given to a beneficiary. Estate tax returns are usually filed by an Estate tax attorney. (If you need assistance with Estate taxes or transfer Inheritance taxes, please consult with an attorney.) Inheritance tax is paid by the beneficiary that inherits money, property, or other assets after someone dies.
There is no federal inheritance tax. Currently, there are only six states required to file inheritance taxes: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Iowa, Kentucky, Nebraska.
