MFB also supported H.R. 6100, Protect Family Farms and Businesses Act, which would prevent the IRS from issuing rules that would restrict estate tax discount valuation from taking effect. The bill was introduced by Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio). MFB has serious concerns about how this proposed change to negatively impact estate planning and transferring family farms to the next generation when a family death occurs leading to increased tax burdens on the heirs.
