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).
Background. A QSST is one of several types of trusts that are eligible to hold stock in an S corporation. Its two primary requirements are (1) there can be only one beneficiary of the trust and (2) all income must be distributed at least annually (Sec. 1361(d)(3)(B)).
An electing small business trust (ESBT) within the meaning of section 1361(e) is treated as two separate trusts for purposes of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. The portion of an ESBT that consists of stock in one or more S corporations is treated as one trust.
Irrevocable trusts are often set up as grantor trusts, which simply means that they are not recognized for income tax purposes (all of the income tax attributes of the trust, such as income, loss, gains, etc. is passed on to the grantor of the trust).
An irrevocable grantor trust can own S corporation stock if it meets IRS regulations. The trust must contain language stating that all the ordinary income the trust earns along with the original trust assets are owned by the trust grantor.
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.
A Qualified Subchapter S Trust, commonly referred to as a QSST Election, or a Q-Sub election, is a Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary Election made on behalf of a trust that retains ownership as the shareholder of an S corporation, a corporation in the United States which votes to be taxed.
Net investment income tax of a QSST 1411(a)(2)). The tax also applies to QSSTs to the extent the net investment income is retained in the trust. Although the S corporation income of a QSST is taxed to the individual income beneficiary, capital gain on the sale of the S corporation stock is taxed at the trust level.
The QSST may be useful for estate planning purposes. It may also be useful for holding S stock for the benefit of a minor or incompetent. Individuals, estates, and certain trusts are subject to a net investment income tax, which is an additional tax of 3.8%.
