    <![CDATA[When you share responsibility for planning and reporting income taxes relating to the transmission of wealth, you can depend implicitly on this often-cited resource. The authors give you easy-to-follow advice on achieving the most favorable tax consequences, as well as informed analysis of current IRS positions and trends for the future.   <p>You'll find incomparably detailed transactional analysis of all these matters and more:   <p>* Preparing the decedent's final return<br/> * Income and deduction in respect of a decedent<br/> * Problems arising from partnership interests of the decedent<br/> * Characterization of amounts in distributable net income (DNI)<br/> * Ways to maximize the distribution deduction, with analysis of the latest cases<br/> * How the charitable deduction affects DNI<br/> * Mandatory and discretionary distributions<br/> * The throwback rule<br/> * Grantor trusts<br/> * Split-interest charitable trusts<br/> * Intersection of passive activity rules with Subchapter J.  <p>Of special value is the in-depth discussion of the executor's personal liability for the decedent's or estate's taxes, with authoritative guidance on the steps you should take to minimize, shift, or terminate it.</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[The core of this book consists of the provisions of &quot;Subchapter J,&quot; the relevant portion of the Internal Revenue Code (sections 641 through 692), and its first priority is to give readers an understanding of those provisions and how they work. This text takes four distinct, but integrated, approaches. At the beginning of each section, the book presents assignments of carefully selected provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations. Following are one or more precedents (cases or rulings) dealing with the topic at hand accompanied by textual material that amplifies the topic by further analysis of the primary precedent(s), presentation of other precedents, or discussion of subsequent developments. Finally, numerous problems, where appropriate, allow the reader to apply the material to actual fact patterns.  <p>The book is ideal for use in courses dealing with federal income taxation of trusts and estates. Those who wish to pursue tax policy will find ample material with which to work.</p>]]>

  <description>
    <![CDATA[Federal Income Taxation of Trusts and Estates: Cases, Problems, and Materials examines the income taxation of estates and trusts, estate and trust beneficiaries, and trust settlors; its emphasis is on the provisions of 'Subchapter J'; the relevant portion of the Internal Revenue Code (sections 641 through 692) and its first priority is to give readers an understanding of those provisions and how they work. The book takes four distinct, but integrated, approaches. At the beginning of each section, Ascher and Danforth present assignments of carefully selected provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations. Following are one or more precedents (cases or rulings) dealing with the topic at hand, accompanied by textual material that amplifies the topic by further analysis of the primary precedents, presentation of other precedents, or discussion of subsequent developments. Finally, numerous problems, where appropriate, allow the reader to apply the material to common fact patterns.<br/><br/>The third edition brings the book completely up to date, and includes all relevant developments since the preparation of the second edition. Among the many important additions are the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Knight v. Commissioner, which just this year held that investment advisory fees paid by a trustee are subject to the 2% haircut under section 67; Mattie K. Carter Trust v. United States, in which the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas held that it is not merely the activities of the trustee, but also those of the trustee s employees, that count toward the material participation requirement under the passive activity rules of section 469; and full incorporation of the trust accounting income regulations recently finalized by the Treasury. The third edition includes a number of new or revised problems, and it trims some materials relating to estate planning techniques that are now obsolete.]]>

    <![CDATA[The 2007 Supplement to Federal Income Taxation of Estates, Trusts &amp; Beneficiaries contains 462 loose-leaf pages that the customer files into the main ring-bound compilation (ISBN 0735500169). Over the last half-century or so, taxation of fiduciary income has become increasingly complex. While many fiduciaries and professionals share responsibility for wealth planning or reporting the income taxes relating to transmission of wealth, there is little published to guide them through the maze of choices and problems they may encounter. Federal Income Taxation of Estates, Trusts, &amp; Beneficiaries provides step-by-step guidance for dealing with the problems of preparation of the decedent s final return, characterization of income in respect of a decedent, computation of distributable net income (DNI), the interaction of the system of taxation of trusts and estates and the passive activity rules, the grantor trust rules, and the rules relating to split interest charitable trusts. As always, the update is designed to provide the reader with information that is timely and tailored to the needs of today s busy practitioner.   The 2007 Supplement to Federal Income Taxation of Estates, Trusts &amp; Beneficiaries brings you up to date on the latest developments in this complex and constantly changing area. Highlights include a discussion of:    -- William L. Rudkin Testamentary Trust v. Commissioner, an opinion reviewed and agreed to by all of the Tax Court judges, which held that investmment advisory fees paid by a trustee are subject to the limittions of section 67, has been affirmed in a strong opinion by the Second Circuit. Rudkin thus joins Mellon Bank, decided by the Federal Circuit, and Scott, decided by the Fourth Circuit, in rejecting the Sixth Circuit's O'Neill opinion, the only authority to the contrary; and    --Notice 2006-15, in which the Service extended the grandfathering date in Rev. Proc. 2005-24 &quot;until further guidance is issued.&quot; In Rev. Proc. 2005-24, the Service took the immensely unpopular position that, as to inter vivos trusts created on or after June 28,2005, sny possibility of a spousal right of election against the trust would result in its disqualification as a charitable remainder trust, unless the spouse irrevocably waived the right in writing. After Norice 2006-15, however, until the Service steps back into the fray, the possibility of a spousal right of election has no effect on a CRTs qualification, except in the event that the spouse actually exercises the right.
