I n certain cases, it might make sense to shift the tax burden of capital gains from a Trust to a benefi ciary of the Trust. Once a Trust’s capital gain income exceeds $12,950, capital gain income will be taxed at a 20 percent federal rate. The rate in Massachusetts for long-term capital gain income is 5.05 percent. Investment income (including capital gains) that is not distributed to a beneficiary of a Trust will also be subject to an additional “net investment income tax” equal to the lesser of one. The undistributed net investment income or two. The excess of the Trust’s adjusted CAPITAL GAINS AND TRUSTS gross income over $12,750. This tax is an additional 3.8 percent. In contrast, an individual benefi ciary of a Trust will receive the benefi t of a 15 percent capital gains tax rate on long-term capital gains (holding period of one year or more) and qualifi ed dividends until income exceeds $434,550 for a benefi ciary fi ling single and $488,850 for a benefi ciary fi ling married fi ling joint. Also, a Trust benefi - ciary would not be subject to the net investment income tax until his income exceeds $200,000 if fi ling single and $250,000 if fi ling married fi ling joint. Therefore, a shift of capital gain income from a Trust to a benefi ciary could save as much as 8.8 percent in taxes. If the Trustee, pursuant to the Trust instrument, has the discretion to distribute income or principal to a Trust benefi ciary, that would allow the Trustee to shift the capital gain income to the benefi ciary. Capital gain income is considered a receipt of principal by the Trust. In order to shift capital gain income to a Trust benefi ciary, there must be a distribution of principal to the benefi ciary in the form of cash or other property. Keep in mind that this strategy would in no way be possible for an irrevocable Trust in the context of MassHealth (Medicaid) planning. An irrevocable Trust cannot allow for any distributions of Trust principal to the Settlor/income beneficiary of the Trust. If the Trust were to allow for that, MassHealth would consider the assets in the Trust countable for MassHealth eligibility purposes. Those assets in the Trust would then make the applicant ineligible for MassHealth benefits. If, on the other hand, the irrevocable Trust was set up for children with no MassHealth eligibility being sought in the future, then such principal distributions may be allowed pursuant to the terms of the Trust. years, Robert Furlong, her parents Francis and Marian Brodbine and her brother Francis Brobdine, Jr. She is survived by her six well-loved children: Donna Eidson (Bill) of Arlington; Robert (Maria) of Arlington, VA; Carol O’Brien (Michael) of Cincinnati, OH; Michael of Salem; Peter (Marcy) of Rowley; Christopher (Eva) of Winchester; eight adored grandchildren, a greatgrandchild, and several wonderful nieces and nephews.
