Report on Status of the Federal Estate Tax

The Tax Foundation, which calls itself a "nonprofit, nonpartisal research and public education organization," has issued a brief overview of the federal estate tax, its recent history, and arguments for and against resurrecting the estate tax in 2011 or sooner. While opinionated at times, the report nonetheless provides some good context to today's confusing estate tax situation. See The Federal Estate Tax: Will it Rise From the Grave in 2011 or Sooner? (May 2010).
