Can I take advantage of the stepped up basis if I transfer my brain into a clone, who I designate as my heir, leaving my decrepit “legacy body” to die?
I would tentatively say no, because if the clone can’t object to its body being harvested, it probably shouldn’t be a legal person for tax purposes. But if the IRS allows tax inversions and the carried interest loophole, I won’t give up hope.
Using this calculator, I am scheduled to die in 2070, hopefully we can get all these issues worked out well before then.
