Trust Basics
- Registration Closed
The tax rules that apply to a trust can be quite daunting. This program is designed for professionals with an interest in income taxation of trusts and experience with Form 1041 preparation.
We will review the taxation scheme for a Trust between the taxation of the trust entity and the taxation of the beneficiary. We will discuss the unique aspects of “grantor trusts”.
Let us highlight planning opportunities for trusts in your professional tax practice and show you how to increase your firm’s practice revenue.
