Description

More and more clients are putting their assets into revocable living trusts. This session reviews the tax treatment of revocable living trusts from creation by the client to the client's death. We will answer such questions as: What tax identification number is used and when do we need to obtain a new number; What form is used and when do we need to change; What happens if the grantor is declared incompetent; What happens when the grantor dies.

Learning Objectives 

1) Describe how income and estate taxes impact revocable living trusts.
2) Identify the allowable methods of filing income tax returns and how to change the filing method.
3) Identify when a revocable living trust needs an employer identification number and when it needs a NEW employer identification number.
