The Tax Reform Act of 1976 created one applicable credit to be applied against gift taxes and estate taxes. If this credit is not exhausted by lifetime gifting, the amount remaining can be used against estate taxes. The amount of gift taxes paid since 1976 is applied against the applicable credit in order to determine how much applicable credit is left to apply against testamentary gifts.
