Federal Income Tax Code and Regulations 2007-2008

Over the last half-century or so, taxation of fiduciary income has become increasingly complex.

Federal Income Taxation of Estates, Trusts, & Beneficiaries provides step-by-step guidance for dealing with the problems of preparation of the decedents final return, characterization of income in respect of a decedent, computation of distributable net income (DNI), the interaction of the system of taxation of trusts and estates and the passive activity rules, the grantor trust rules, and the rules relating to split interest charitable trusts. As always, the update is designed to provide the reader with information that is timely and tailored to the needs of todays busy practitioner.Dickinson, Martin is the author of 'Federal Income Tax Code and Regulations 2007-2008', published 2007 under ISBN 9780808016908 and ISBN 0808016903.
