Melody Trust has $60,000 of DNI for the current year, $20,000 of rental income and $40,000 of corporate bond interest. The trust instrument requires the trustee to distribute 30% of the trust income to Lee and 70% to Sarah, annually. The trust instrument does not require an allocation of the different types of income to the two beneficiaries. What is the amount and composition of the income
reported by Lee and Sarah, respectively?
What will be an ideal response?
Lee reports $18,000 (30% of $60,000) of trust income and Sarah reports $42,000 (70% of $60,000). Because rents make up one-third ($20,000/$60,000) of DNI, the composition of the income reported by Lee and Sarah is one-third rental income and two-thirds corporate bond interest.
