Most relatively simple estates (cash, publicly traded securities, small amounts of other easily valued assets, and no special deductions or elections, or jointly held property) do not require the filing of an estate tax return.
The gross value of the estate is the total value of all assets. It is the value of the estate before deducting mortgages, funeral expenses and debts. The net estate value is the gross estate minus liabilities, such as debts and funeral expenses, before Inheritance Tax exemptions have been applied.
The gross estate of the decedent consists of an accounting of everything you own or have certain interests in at the date of death (Refer to Form 706 PDF). The fair market value of these items is used, not necessarily what you paid for them or what their values were when you acquired them.
As of 2021, this additional allowance is 175,000, and both the inheritance tax nil rate band and the residence nil rate band are frozen at these figures until April 2028. Therefore, on top of the inheritance tax threshold of 325,000, the total tax-free threshold is 500,000 or up to 1 million for a married couple.
Repeal of Estate Tax: The Ohio Estate Tax has been repealed for individuals dying on or after Jan. 1, 2013 (see House Bill 153, 129th General Assembly).

While state laws differ for inheritance taxes, an inheritance must exceed a certain threshold to be considered taxable. For federal estate taxes as of 2024, if the total estate is under $13.61 million for an individual or $27.22 million for a married couple, theres no need to worry about estate taxes.
Ohio doesnt have an estate tax or an inheritance tax. Ohio repealed its estate tax in 2013. Before that, estates over $338,333 were taxed, but that rule no longer applies. As of 2025, no matter how much an estate is worth, Ohio wont tax it.
