So if your father leaves you a $100,000 it will cost you $45,000 for you to own it even though he already did!

Double taxation is nothing new.

I am obviously behind on this, thought they were getting rid of the death tax.

I would double check your source. The 45% estate tax carries over from 2009, along with the first $3.5 million being exempt from the tax.

Is it that much? Back in 2003 when my grandma died it was only the first $650K that was tax exempt IIRC.

In 03 I believe it was the first million that was exempt, but after that it was taxed at 49%. Part of Bush's 2001 tax bill dealt with this tax by lowering the rate by 1% each year and steadily raising the exemption until next year when it was supposed to go away entirely. Obama's budget would keep it in effect.
