Ebony Trust was established two years ago with Brent as the beneficiary. The trust instrument instructed the trustee last year to make discretionary distributions of income to Brent. Beginning in two years, the trustee is instructed to pay all of the trust income earned that year to Brent. What was the trust's personal exemption last year? What will the personal exemption be in two years?

What will be an ideal response?


Last year, the exemption was $100 since the trust did not have to distribute all of its income. Two years from now, the personal exemption will be $300 since it will be required to distribute all of its income.
