FAQ

In the case of third party special needs trusts, if the trust is considered a grantor trust, all items of income, deduction and credit are generally taxed to the individual(s) who created and funded the trust (typically parents or other relatives of the individual with a disability).

The trustee works in very close contact with the beneficiary and/or their caregiver to manage the trust and its financial distributions to pay for these things. The main takeaway regarding distribution of SNT funds is this: The beneficiary never sees the money directly, but the money is used to pay for their needs.

In these circumstances, the Form 1041 is very simple to complete. The trustee will check the box on Form 1041 indicating that the trust is a grantor trust and provide some general information about the trust (name, address, tax identification number, and the date the trust was established).

What are the main benefits of an SDT? The asset value limit of $781,250 (indexed annually on 1 July) and income from the trust may be disregarded for the purposes of the principal beneficiary's income support payment. Assets above that limit are added to the assessable assets of the principal beneficiary.

Cons of Special Needs Trusts The trust must be maintained, and yearly management costs can be high. Depending on who manages the fund, there may be a minimum amount required to set up the trust. It may be financially difficult for the settlor to actually establish the trust, depending upon their circumstances.
