Course Description

This course delves into the consequences of trusts owning interests in S corporations and partnerships.

First, we will discuss which trusts are eligible to hold S corporation stock and how they are taxed. Next, we will discuss how K-1 income and distributions can have a mismatch and what to do about that mismatch. Then we will discuss planning for the passive loss rules and net investment income (NII) tax. Finally, we will discuss how to plan for and manage the sale of a pass-through entity.

Learning Objectives:


  • Identify trusts that can hold S corporation stock—including grantor trusts, qualified subchapter S trusts (QSSTs), and electing small business trusts (ESBTs)—and the deadlines for QSST and ESBT elections

  • Determine what to do when the deadline is missed

  • Identify how K-1 income can get trapped inside a trust and how to deal with paying taxes and beneficiaries' demands for income

  • Recall the rules for passing depreciation deductions to beneficiaries, even when that exceeds income distributed to them

  • Determine how trustee material participation works, including what the Frank Aragona Trust case did and did not say

  • Determine QSST taxation when an S corporation is sold and general income tax consequences when a non-grantor trust or estate reports the sale of a business
