Charitable Income Tax Deductions for Estates and Trusts

 

Learn what distributions qualify for the income tax deduction.

There are four requirements for an income tax deduction permitted for amounts paid or set aside from gross income pursuant to the terms of the governing instrument for a charitable purpose. The limitation is based on the adjusted gross income if paid from unrelated business income. Benefits of charitable distributions from estate or trust income may be paid from gross income of a prior year and the estate may elect to treat a contribution as made for the immediately prior year if paid from gross income of such prior year, if the contribution is paid before filing the return for the prior year. This video reviews why the trust or estate would make a charitable distribution from the prior year’s income and discusses split-interest and charitable remainder trusts.
