How much can I inherit without paying federal taxes?

You can inherit up to $15,000,000 from someone without owing federal estate taxes. This exemption applies to the total value of everything the deceased person owned. If you're married, you and your spouse can effectively inherit up to $30,000,000 combined through portability rules. Most families never reach these thresholds, but proper inheritance planning helps maximize what you can pass to beneficiaries.
