FIDUCIARY INCOME TAX RETURN PROBLEM
Robert Dobbolina settled the Robert Dobbolina Irrevocable Children's Trust on February 9, 1999 (EIN: 33-898989). In 2016, the Trust had items of income and expense as follows:
Amount Allocable to
Income Principal
Qualified Dividends $30,000
Rental income from house 18,500
Charitable Gift to United Way 15,000
Tax-exempt interest 15,000
Rental expenses1 3,500

Capital gain on sale of stock2 12,000
Distribution of income:
Jessica 18,000
Branden 9,000
Payments of estimated tax 8,600
The trust agreement appointed Mojo Bank and Trust as its trustee with broad discretionary authority, including the Trustee's authority to distribute income to Jessica and Branden during its 20-year term. The trustee has decided to allocate a portion of the estimated taxes to the beneficiaries this year. On February 9, 2019, the Trust will terminate and the assets will be distributed equally to Jessica and Branden, irrespective of any distributions the beneficiaries received during the life of the Trust (i.e. separate shares are not maintained for Jessica and Branden). The Trustee has never allocated any estimated tax payments to the beneficiaries and the Trust provides that capital gains are to be treated as "principal" by the Trustee.
