Please rewrite "Sunset provision" section
editUnder, the section called "Sunset provision", it presently says: "Prior to Pub. L. 111–312, IRC § 1014(f) provided that this section would not apply to decedents dying after December 31, 2009. As of December 2010, the anticipated sunset was therefore removed." As a layperson, I may have understood 98% of the article before this. But I have no idea what this means, or what the word "therefore" is there for. No definition for "sunset" was there either, which doesn't help. Can someone knowledgable about this, and certain of the law here, please rewrite this in plain English without multiple (or any) negatives in it? Thank you!

Section “Rationale for stepped-up basis”
editThis section providing a justification for this highly controversial provision seems very hard to understand IMHO. Also the interrelation of capital gains and estate taxes herein needs clarification. JdelaF (talk) 02:11, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
P.s. Just noticed this isn't entitled as a US article. Maybe it should be? JdelaF (talk) 02:46, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
