New Taxes on Investment Income will affect Estates and Trusts
Categories
According to a recent article on WSJ.com, the additional 3.8% tax that starts in 2013 will also apply to undistributed income in estates and trusts, starting at about the $12,000 mark (making the top rate 44.4%). This will make planning for distributions to beneficiaries that much more important, as most beneficiaries will be in lower tax brackets.
