  • INCOME TAXES

    A.  A tax required to be paid by a trustee based on receipts allocated to income must be paid from income.

    B.  A tax required to be paid by a trustee based on receipts allocated to principal must be paid from principal, even if the tax is called an income tax by the taxing authority.

    C.  A tax required to be paid by a trustee on the trust's share of an entity's taxable income must be paid:

    1.  From income to the extent that receipts from the entity are allocated only to income;

    2.  From principal to the extent that receipts from the entity are allocated only to principal;

    3.  Proportionately from principal and income to the extent that receipts from the entity are allocated to both income and principal; and

    4.  From principal to the extent that the tax exceeds the total receipts from the entity.

    D.  After applying subsections A through C of this section, the trustee shall adjust income or principal receipts to the extent that the trust’s taxes are reduced because the trust receives a deduction for payments made to a beneficiary.
