A is definitely incorrect, it’s all about the net amount passing to the spouse.

Wait, so community property states get the whole amount? That's surprising!

I thought it was capped at $1 million, but I guess that's not right.

I remember discussing the differences between common-law and community-property states, but I can't recall the specifics about the marital deduction. I might lean towards option C.

I’m a bit confused about the limits on the marital deduction. I thought it was unlimited for qualifying property, but I’m not sure how that applies here.

I feel like I've seen a question similar to this before, and I think the answer might be related to community property laws. Maybe option B is correct?

I think I remember that the marital deduction in common-law states is based on the property passing to the surviving spouse, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the net amount or something else.

Aha, I think I've got it now. The key is understanding the difference between common-law and community-property states. In a common-law state, the marital deduction is the net amount of qualifying property passing to the spouse, not a fixed percentage or dollar amount. So C is the correct answer.

This is a good one. I remember learning that the marital deduction in a common-law state is not limited to a specific dollar amount, so option D is definitely not correct. I'm leaning towards C, but I'll review the other options just to be sure.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Isn't the marital deduction in a common-law state supposed to be half the adjusted gross estate? Or is that only for community-property states? I need to double-check my notes.
KR
Kristofer

Okay, I think I've got this. The marital deduction in a common-law state is equal to the net amount of qualifying property passing to the surviving spouse, so I'm going with option C.

Azure Bastion seems like the obvious choice here. It provides secure RDP/SSH access to VMs without exposing them directly to the internet.
