If you have some older relatives or you think you may be up for inheriting something in the next few years, then this news from Iowa may just be something to rejoice about. The state has decided to deviate from the general norm of other states, which is to tax any assets and money you receive after someone passes, by changing their law and eliminating this almost altogether.

The reason why we mentioned a few years is that the state plans to do away with this inheritance law completely by 2025, and until then, they have started with a change that will see a 40% cut to the inheritance tax rates as of January 1, 2022. If you are about to inherit anything from a wealthy aunt in Iowa, it seems like you will be getting a bigger cut than you might have expected.

  1. Just another way for the wealthiest of us to keep their money! If you want to impress me with tax break maybe cut the ridiculously high property tax’s in Iowa. Property taxes should not be a bigger monthly payment then your mortgage principle balance but it is?

  2. Well I am waiting to see what the rate for retirees. It’s crazy that they want to take away our hard earned money, working 50-60 hrs per week and save in a IRA now they are going to raise taxes to take care of illegals. Something is NOT right with this picture. It’s OUR money, not the governments.

  3. Last spring I heard the our state (Maryland) had passed legislation giving retirees a break on income taxes. I have yet to find out what that break is.
