“California Income Tax Planning with Irrevocable Trusts”
Given the recent increase in the estate and gift tax exemption and the limited deductibility of state income tax liability against federal taxable income, clients increasingly want to create, or redomicile and modify or decant, existing nongrantor trusts to no-tax states. This presentation will address relevant issues, including charitable planning, California sourcing, throwback, and fiduciary taxation rules, along with a discussion of intangible assets that retain the California sourcing taint and those that escape it once moved outside of California.
