Exercise 19-24 (Algorithmic) (LO. 8)

Right before his death from a terminal illness, Shing makes a gift of $855,000 cash that he had planned to bequeath to the church anyway. Presuming Shing had a marginal Federal income tax rate of 35% and his Federal estate tax bracket is 40%, what is the tax effect of his lifetime transfer.

Ignore the 20%/30%/50%/60% contribution limitations.

If an amount is zero, enter "0".

If gifted during his lifetime, Shing will save $ in income taxes. If made as a bequest from his estate, the estate will save $ in estate taxes.
