Three commonly used types of ongoing trusts qualify as S corporation shareholders: grantor trusts, qualified subchapter S trusts (QSSTs) and electing small business trusts (ESBTs).
The main difference between an ESBT and a QSST is that an ESBT may have multiple income beneficiaries, and the trust does not have to distribute all income. Unlike with the QSST, the trustee, rather than the beneficiary, must make the election.
As an initial matter, as long as the business owner is living, his or her revocable trust is treated as a grantor trust for income tax purposes, and as such, is an eligible S corporation shareholder.
