ICLE Covers You in Your Practice

Prepare a Gift Tax Return

New How-To Kit

The lifetime gift tax and generation-skipping transfer tax exemptions were nearly doubled under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, but those exemptions will return to the pre-2017 amounts in 2026, or earlier if tax laws change before then. Use this new How-To Kit as a resource when preparing gift tax returns (IRS Form 709) for clients making gifts to take advantage of the high exemption amount.

Updated Book

For any aspect of first-party and third-party practice, No-Fault Automobile Law and Practice in Michigan provides expert insights and essential guidance. Recent additions include discussion of new Michigan Supreme Court and Court of Appeals decisions concerning personal protection insurance coverage, attorney fees, attendant care services, and applicable fee schedules.

This helpful new chart compares various aspects of the voided and revived statutes of the IWOWA, including their differing provisions on covered employers, exemptions, minimum wage, tips, and compensatory time.
