How much can I reduce my estate taxes through charitable giving?

Charitable giving can significantly reduce estate taxes since charitable bequests receive an unlimited estate tax deduction. For estates above the $15,000,000 federal exemption threshold, this means avoiding the 40% top tax rate on donated amounts. The exact savings depend on your estate's total value and the size of your charitable gifts, but the tax reduction can be substantial for larger estates.
