The 65-day rule relates to distributions from complex trusts to beneficiaries made after the end of a calendar year. For the first 65 days of the following year, a distribution is considered to have been made in the previous year.
Since a GRAT represents an incomplete gift, it is not a suitable vehicle to use in a generation-skipping transfer (GST), as the value of the skipped gift is not determined until the end of the trust term.
Some of the grantor trust rules outlined by the IRS are as follows: The power to add or change the beneficiary of a trust. The power to borrow from the trust without adequate security. The power to use the income from the trust to pay life insurance premiums.
The creator of the trust (the Grantor) transfers assets to the GRAT while retaining the right to receive fixed annuity payments, payable at least annually, for a specified term of years. After the expiration of the term, the Grantor will no longer receive any further benefits from the GRAT.
Under current law assets in a grantor trust do not receive a step up in basis upon the grantor's death and are not included in the taxable estate of the grantor.
At the end of the initial term retained by the Grantor, if the Grantor is still living, the remainder beneficiaries (or a trust to be administered for the benefit of the remainder beneficiaries) receive $100,0000 plus all capital growth (which is the amount over and above the net income that was paid to the Grantor).
To implement this strategy, you zero out the grantor retained annuity trust by accepting combined payments that are equal to the entire value of the trust, including the anticipated appreciation. In theory, there would be nothing left for the beneficiary if the trust is really zeroed out.
Too bad, says the IRS, unless you are an estate or trust. Under Section 663(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, any distribution by an estate or trust within the first 65 days of the tax year can be treated as having been made on the last day of the preceding tax year.
Grantor Retained Income Trust, Definition A grantor retained income trust allows the person who creates the trust to transfer assets to it while still being able to receive net income from trust assets. The grantor maintains this right for a fixed number of years.
Commonly referred to as the 21 year rule, the rule deems certain types of trusts to dispose of their capital property and recognize the accrued gains every 21 years. Without this rule, trusts could be used to defer the realization of a capital gain for more than 21 years (80 years in BC).
