Even the most straightforward estate plan can give rise to surprising tax complexities during administration. This presentation walks through a basic will and trust scenario and follows the fiduciary income tax consequences through the course of administration. Using real-world problems and common pitfalls, we’ll explore how Subchapter J operates in practice, highlighting key decision points, misunderstandings, and how estate planners can better navigate this often-overlooked area. Designed as a “primer’s primer,” this session aims to make Subchapter J more accessible and practical for everyday use.
