And although each organization keeps a record of deceased individuals, their databases don’t always overlap, Foley says.

QUOTE: Investors are going to get taxed. You are going to get taxed. It's that simple.

According to the bill passed this week by the House of Representatives, any individual who makes more than $280,000 a year -- or any couple that makes more than $350,000 -- is going to pay a surcharge of at least 1% of income above those levels. The more you make, the more you pay.
