This CLE/CPE course will provide practical guidance to estate planners and administrators on complex fiduciary income tax challenges and methods to overcome them. The panelist will discuss income tax rules applicable to trusts and estates, minimizing income tax liabilities, handling partnership interests, distributable net income, Section 645 elections, and other key issues.

Description

The taxation of estates, trusts, and beneficiaries present unique and complex issues that require an in-depth understanding of various methods to minimize income tax liability. Estate planners and tax counsel must tackle challenges under federal tax law and state tax considerations impacting what items and who to tax on distributions from an estate or trust.

In the administration of estates and trusts, a fiduciary's primary objective is to avoid any income tax traps stemming from the applicable tax rules. This involves a careful review of the language within the existing estate and trust documentation, the realization and characterization of income, potential tax issues of existing trusts, and available income tax planning mechanisms.

Estate planners and tax counsel must acquire the necessary expertise to handle specific income tax planning and administrative issues regarding partnership interests, distributable net income, Section 645 elections, and other essential items impacting income taxation.

Listen as our panel discusses income tax rules and traps to avoid and minimizing unexpected income tax liabilities, as well as offers techniques to ensure income tax benefits for trusts and estates.
