No, I think the question asks about the $5K widow's exemption that was repealed in 1996.

1996 vs 2019 - that's pretty close. Maybe the IRS will let it slide this year. I wonder if they would be better off income averaging (as long as we are opening obsolete tax laws 😉 )

They wouldn't have to income average if they would just reinvest.

Hi Lisa,
Yes, that's what I was researching! I typed 5k instead of 500k. I got it now!
Thank you!
