Course Description
Unlike most tax returns we are engaged to prepare, trust returns rely on a knowledge of state law and a thorough familiarity with the client’s specific trust agreement. Although not a specialist, you may be asked to assist a client’s family with the return for their estate or trust. In this course we will go over the basic information and distinguish between the state law concept of trust accounting income and the tax concept of distributable net income.
Learning Objectives
Upon completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Analyze whether the trust is Simple or Complex
- Recognize the conflicts between the income beneficiary, the ultimate beneficiary and the fiduciary/trustee
- Determine the all-important Distribution Deduction
- Understand the allowable income tax deductions and their limitations
