Probably. The term is too politicized, as the WSJ Style and Substance blog explains.
Like Taxgirl (see below) Style and Substance is a blog we probably should consult more often. The author, Paul Martin, clearly cares about well-worded, properly-arranged writing.

I don't get it. The WSJ style book does not give an alternative umbrella term to use to cover both inheritance and estate taxes.
What's more, the term "death taxes" was invented by Congress, not political consultants, and has appeared prominently in the tax code for decades, as the "credit for state death taxes."
No, they should not have banned the term.
