About EstateTaxByState.com

Our Mission

EstateTaxByState.com provides comprehensive, fact-checked estate tax information for all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Our goal is to make complex tax information accessible and understandable to everyone.

Estate tax rules vary significantly from state to state. While most states do not impose their own estate tax, the ones that do have different exemption amounts, rates, and filing requirements. We believe this information should be easy to find and understand.
