A mom is a Trustee and she lists her daughter as a beneficiary. Let’s say the daughter is a single mom having a hard time making ends meet.

If the mother personally gifts the daughter the amount needed to purchase the annuity, then the principal payments from the annuity would be tax free to the daughter. A gift over $15,000 would require a Gift Tax Return and would go against the mother’s lifetime exemption. If the annuity is purchased by the Trust, the Trust must be the beneficiary and receive the payments, not a Beneficiary of the Trust. If the mother deposited the purchase amount into the Trust, this would increase her Demand Note which she could then draw out principal payments tax free. The only exception to the above would be if the is the Annuitant is the daughter and the annuity carries a Death Benefit on the daughter, then the daughter’s estate would receive the death benefit tax free when she passes.[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”What are the implications of moving assets from one trust to another?” content_max_width=”100%” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”24px” header_line_height=”26px” body_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” body_text_color=”#333333″ body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”24px” header_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_font_size_phone=”24px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]This can be dangerous, because there is an obscure IRS regulation that could be violated by this action. The IRS says that any diversion of anticipated income is tax evasion. Assets or anything in the Corpus of the Trust is Trust property and has no gift basis when placed in Trust. Therefore, for a Trust to endow or gift another Trust with one of these assets is not an authorized transfer. Currencies purchased for the revaluation prospect could be considered diversion unless sold or loaned to the Beneficial Trust. The proper way to accomplish this is to have the second or third Trust purchase the currency before the revaluation. Now, the currency has simply gained in value and this gain is declared to the Corpus and is Extraordinary Dividends declared by the Trustee and is not current taxable income to the Trust.[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Do I get a Demand Note for assets I put into the Trust?” content_max_width=”100%” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”24px” header_line_height=”26px” body_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” body_text_color=”#333333″ body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”24px” header_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_font_size_phone=”24px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]Yes, the basis (cost) of any asset legally sold to the Trust will be reflected on the Demand Note.
