Sunset Provision
IRC § 1014(f) states that this section shall not apply to decedents who die after December 31, 2009. This sunset provision is a result of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA). Under the EGTRRA, IRC § 1014 will be repealed. EGTRRA replaces § 1014 with a modified carryover basis rule, under which the property will receive a basis equal to the lesser of the adjusted basis of the property in the hands of the decedent, or the fair market value of the property on the date of the decedent's death.
The repeal of § 1014, along with the repeal of the estate tax, are scheduled to be in effect only during 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words sunset and/or provision:
“The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“The caretaking has to be done. “Somebody’s got to be the mommy.” Individually, we underestimate this need, and as a society we make inadequate provision for it. Women take up the slack, making the need invisible as we step in to fill it.”
—Mary Catherine Bateson (20th century)
