Planning for state income taxation of trusts is a critical aspect of the estate-planning process. If done well, it can produce substantial benefits; if done poorly, it can produce substantial cost. Mr. Nenno will:

• Survey how all 50 states and the District of Columbia tax trust income
• Summarize the constitutional limitations on such taxation following the U.S. Supreme Court’s Kaestner decision
• Describe the rules in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and other key states
• Consider planning for new and existing trusts
• Address several related issues.
