We will discuss when a grantor or a beneficiary is taxed as the deemed owner of a revocable or irrevocable trust (the “grantor trust” rules) instead of following the normal rules of fiduciary income taxation. We will review reporting grantor trusts and what triggers grantor trust status and conclude with how to avoid unintentionally triggering the grantor trust rules when planning irrevocable trusts. This course is limited to the basics and does not cover advanced planning techniques for irrevocable grantor trusts.
