With states applying their individual income taxes to trusts it creates uncertainty with how the various provisions apply in a trust context. This session will address residency issues encountered by trusts and how residency decisions impact the taxation of a trust. After residency is determined, how a trust computes its state source income can be equally challenging given the complexities of applying the Distributable Net Income (“DNI”) deduction to the state income tax computations. If these complexities were not bad enough the existence of the various elective state PTE taxes can create traps for trusts that are owners of pass-through entities. This session will address these and other complexities that create challenges in calculating a trust’s multi-state income taxes.
