This year Nathan transferred $1 million to an irrevocable trust established for the benefit of his nephew. The trustee is directed to accumulate income for the next 5 years before distributing the trust corpus to Nathan's nephew. In past years Nathan has made taxable gifts of $6 million and used all unified credit. What is the amount of gift tax, if any, must Nathan remit in 2017? Ignore the annual exception amount of $15,000. A) 159,500
B) 155,800
C) 155,450
D) Zero- there is a $10 Million exemption equivalent

Zero- there is a $10 Million exemption equivalent ( d )

Explanation:

Annual exemption to be ignored = $15000

$1 million  to an irrevocable trust

taxable gifts = $6 million

A) The amount of gift tax Nathan must remit in 2017 ignoring annual exemption

The gift tax must remit in 2017 is zero because there is a $10 million exemption because of the annual exception ( even if the annual exception is ignored ) and  the lifetime benefits on taxable gifts that Nathan has is approximately $11.4 million, hence he wont be remitting any amount on gift tax in 2017
