The samples below follow its four one-page case studies, on annual exclusion gifts, valuation discounts, portability and the income taxation of a trust, and its first forum, on whether to give appreciated property now or hold it until death.

What ACCT 614 covers

The reading is a Hoffman et al. text compiled for the course, taken one chapter a module/week except for two double weeks, with a presentation each week and a website in the first; the Bible enters through the course's stewardship rationale and a required biblical perspective in each forum thread.

Each case study is a single page in current APA format with a title page, running head and a reference list holding two or more sources drawn from CCH Intelliconnect, beyond the textbook and the Bible. The forum threads run 250 words or more, every reply 125 or more, and every post cites two scholarly sources.

Liberty's 2026-2027 catalog describes ACCT 614 Estate, Trust, and Gift Taxation this way:
This course explores the taxation of estates, trusts, and gift returns, with a focus on estate planning.

Where ACCT 614 papers lose points

ACCT 614 case studies lose points when they state an answer without the Code section or regulation behind it, when they apply an exclusion or exemption figure from the wrong year, when they spill past one page or skip the CCH sources, and when the ethical question in the facts goes unaddressed.

Using a ACCT 614 sample well

The case study samples work composite families through 2026 rules, citing the Code, Treasury regulations, revenue procedures and Tax Court decisions as they stand; the forum sample draws on published research about basis step-up and lifetime giving.
