Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
If one is the beneficiary of an irrevocable trust, is it possible for the Trustee to treat the Trust itself as a tax paying entity, thereby having the Trust pay the tax on all the income the Trust generates, then pass down whats left (net income) to the Beneficiary with no further tax liablity to the Beneficiary?
