One of the challenges facing owners of closely held businesses is how to preserve their business legacy in the event of their death. The federal estate tax, which applies to estates exceeding $13.61 million in 2024, can pose a significant financial burden on the heirs of business owners, especially if the estate (i.e., the taxpayer) consists of illiquid or hard to value business assets. To ease this burden, Internal Revenue Code section 6166 allows certain estates that include closely held business interests to defer paying part of the estate tax for up to 14 years, with interest.
