Inheritance Tax At The State Level
Many U.S. states also impose their own estate or inheritance taxes (see Ohio estate tax for an example), and some, such as Kentucky, impose both. Some states "piggyback" on the federal estate tax law in regard to estates subject to tax (i.e., if the estate is exempt from federal taxation it is also exempt from state taxation, e.g. Pennsylvania, 72 P.S. Section 9111(r). Some states' estate taxes, however, operate independently of federal law, so it is possible for an estate to be subject to state tax while exempt from federal tax. In Kentucky, the inheritance tax operates separately from either the state or federal estate tax; the inheritance tax is imposed on beneficiaries and based on the amount received from the estate, with some close relatives exempt from this tax by statute.

“Every third year you shall bring out the full tithe of your produce for that year, and store it within your towns; the Levites, because they have no allotment or inheritance with you, as well as the resident aliens, the orphans, and the widows in your towns, may come and eat their fill so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work that you undertake.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state, and this state is constant.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
“To Time it never seems that he is brave
To set himself against the peaks of snow
To lay them level with the running wave,
Nor is he overjoyed when they lie low,
But only grave, contemplative and grave.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
