Course Description
This course is specifically tailored to address the complexities of preparing trust tax returns, a task that requires a nuanced understanding of both state law and individual trust agreements.
Participants will benefit from an in-depth analysis of different types of trusts, gaining the ability to distinguish between simple and complex trusts effectively. This knowledge is fundamental in ensuring accurate tax filing for trusts. The course also focuses on the often-overlooked conflicts between income beneficiaries, ultimate beneficiaries, and fiduciaries/trustees, providing strategies to manage these relationships effectively and ethically. Understanding the Distribution Deduction is another key feature of this course, crucial for optimizing tax outcomes for trusts.
