AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Estate and Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Act to provide that, for persons dying on or after January 1, 2022, the exclusion amount for Illinois estate tax purposes shall be the applicable exclusion amount calculated under Section 2010 of the Internal Revenue Code, including any deceased spousal unused exclusion amount. This change effectively aligns the Illinois estate tax exclusion amount with the federal estate tax exclusion amount, which is currently much higher than the previous $4 million Illinois exclusion amount.
