The U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed a decision denying a tax refund to the estate of a building materials company owner. The Court ruled that the $3 million in life insurance proceeds used to redeem the decedent’s stock must be included when valuing the company’s stock for estate tax purposes. This unanimous decision supports the IRS's position in the corporate redemption tax case and will require estate lawyers to reevaluate their strategies for reducing taxes for family businesses creating succession plans.
