IMPORTANT NOTE:  The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA 2001), signed into law by President Bush on June 7, 2001, made a number of changes to the federal gift tax.  Unlike the federal estate tax, the federal gift tax is not repealed in 2010.  Instead, gift tax rates are reduced and the gift tax unified credit is increased for 2002 ñ 2010.  Without future Congressional action, the federal gift tax will revert in 2011 to its provisions prior to passage of the Act, but with a $1 million exemption equivalent (as scheduled to increase prior to the Act).
