The estate tax is calculated on the deceased’s estate in its entirety with a single estate tax resulting from the determination.

Basically, the estate tax is one levied on an individual’s right to transfer property at the time of death.
An inheritance tax is one that is calculated separately for each of the beneficiaries. A beneficiary is someone who received property from the deceased person. Since it is imposed individually, each beneficiary is responsible for paying their particular inheritance tax.
The estate tax is calculated using a determination of the net value of the property owned by the deceased individual at the time of death. It is calculated using the gross estate value. The gross estate encompasses a variety of items including securities, trusts, cash, insurance proceeds, real estate, annuities, business assets, and so on. The fair market value of this property is used rather than the initial cost or value of the items at the time of their acquisition. Additionally, if the deceased is married, property owned solely in the spouse’s name is not included in the gross estate.
This gross estate is reduced by a number of factors to create the net or taxable estate. The value of each of the following items is subtracted from the gross estate: mortgages, loans, credit card debts, miscellaneous debts, IOUs, bequests to charities, and property that transfers to a surviving spouse.
At the state level, exemptions do exist in varying amounts for the states that choose to collect the estate tax.

Anyone who is found guilty of income tax evasion is subject to the repayment of what they owe in taxes along with the likelihood of interest fees and hefty penalties. Additionally, income tax evaders may even be sent to prison.
Prison terms and penalties vary, depending on the specifics of the tax evasion or fraud. For example, if you fail to file your income tax return willfully and purposefully, then you can expect to pay a hefty fine up to as much as $100,000. You can also expect to go to prison for as long as a full year. If you make false statements on your tax return or hinder a representative from the IRS from investigating, you can expect to receive a prison term up to three years along with as much as $250,000 in fines.
Tax evasion is a felony. Therefore, in addition to the fines and the possibility of a prison term, your credit report and score may be affected in a negative manner. The effect may be long reaching, influencing your ability to obtain credit or employment for many years. The best strategy is to complete an honest tax return and retain documentation that can back up all of your claims, credits, deductions, and income.
