The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) assumes this money was taxed before being placed into the trust. Gains on the trust are taxable as income to the beneficiary or the trust.
Beneficiaries are responsible for paying income tax if assets are distributed before earning income. Not all trusts and estates have to file Form 1041 ? only if they have income-producing assets or nonresident alien beneficiaries.
