Fiduciary income tax planning moves to make now {PFP Section}

If current tax reform proposals become law, there will be many issues to be mindful of with planning for trusts. In this episode of the PFP Section podcast, Bob Keebler, CPA/PFS, helps you get ahead of these changes so that you can plan for your clients to be ready for impending changes. Bob discusses:

• How the proposed higher income tax and capital gains rates will impact trusts planning
• The low threshold for trusts that would have the additional 3% surtax, NIIT expansion, and 199A cap kick in
• Changes to grantor trusts taxation that will make transactions between grantor and trust pertinent to monitor
• Being cognizant of electing fiscal year ends in rising tax rate environments
