TRUST TAXES
b RICHARD HATTON

Trust company representatives
are making a vigorous effort to
have Incorporated in the pending
which win afford relief to tax
payers who have created revocable
living trusts and subject TO audit
/ Of income tax returns for the years
1920 to 1928 inclusive says the
current issue of Trust Companies.
Creators of such living trusts
We're exposed to hardship and in
justice when the Treasury Depart
ment ruled in 1928 that revocable
trusts were to be taxed sthe.. same
as irrevocable trusts and according
1y held that the trustee and the
beneficiaries are to be considered as
separate taxable persons.
Accordingly, ali rents, dividends,
interest and similar items which
are distributed to the creator are
taxable to him.
Gains and losses, however, are
considered as affecting only the In.
come tax liability of the trustee,
as q separate taxable person.
The result is that where a net
capital loss is sustained, inc
trustee, as a separate taxable per-
son has a loss which no one can
deduct, and the creator must pay
income taxes on the ordinary dis
tributabIe income of the trust, sucn
as dividends and interest, without
any deduction whatever for the
capital losses Of the so.called trust
estate.
THE suggested retroactive pro-
: vision provisles that in determining
the individual income tax Liability

vocab1e trust there shall be per-
Initted as a deduction for the years
1919 To 1923, Inclusive. losses af-
fecting the corpus Of the trust, to
the extent that such losses for
such years exceed the gains and
other income taxable to the trust
as a separate entity, and any taxes
assessed against such donor or
donors by reason OF the exclusion
of such losses as a deduction, shall
lie abateds credited or refunded, sub
ject to the statutory period of limit
ations applicable thereto.
Such losses and gains shall he
computed as though property de-
posted IN trust had been at adj
times heretofore owned by the
