This webinar focused on taxation of trusts among the states and discussed a developing trend in the case law that supports the fact that “resident trusts”, trusts established in a jurisdiction that does not tax retained income in trust, can no longer be taxed by the home state (the state where settlor or beneficiaries reside) and, to do so, violates the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution. In light of this trend, and recent Private Letter Rulings issued by the IRS, specific planning strategies were discussed and analyzed.
