I think statement 1 is correct. GSTT is a different tax.

I thought the GSTT had a higher exemption amount, but I might be mixing it up with the lifetime gift exclusion.

I feel like statement I is correct because the GSTT has its own rules, but I'm not confident about the specifics of statement II.

I think I practiced a question similar to this where the cumulative limit was discussed, but I can't recall if it's $1.5 million or something else.

I remember something about the GSTT, but I'm not sure if it completely exempts gifts from federal estate or gift tax.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. First, I'll identify the key facts about Alan's situation. Then I'll consider each statement and evaluate whether it's correct based on my understanding of the GSTT rules.

Wait, did they just say 'Alan, a widower'? That makes this even more complicated. I feel for the guy, but he better get some good advice on this.

I heard about that. It's to prevent wealthy individuals from avoiding estate taxes by passing assets directly to grandchildren.
