Decedent (DOD June 2020) and spouse lived in MA for many, many years. They moved to ID in July 2019. Taxpayer died in June 2020. The couple had a brokerage account titled as Joint Tenants. They’ve had this same account for many, many years while MA residents. How does the step up basis on the brokerage assets work?

1. Is the brokerage account considered community property and this, spouse gets 100% step up?
2. Or because it’s held as joint tenants, does spouse only get 50% step up?
