[WSBAPT] 2015 U S estate tax exemption

[Thomas M. Culbertson]

Several sources (CCH, etc) are predicting the estate and GST exemptions to increase in 2016 by $20,000, to $5,450,000. Annual exclusion to remain at $14k.  If the WA exemption goes up by the same % as the federal one, it should be about $2,062,000.

Fed tax exemption for 2015 is $5.43M.  Up from $5.34M in 2014. Haven't heard yet what 2016 will be.

Is the exemption for 2015 still $5,340,000 or did it go up in 2015?  What will it be in 2016?
