The trust instrument requires that all income be distributed at least annually, 30% to Jane and 70% to Joe. What is the amount and character of the income that Jane receives?
2. In the year of termination, a trust incurs a $20,000 NOL. In addition, it has a $30,000 NOL carryover from the two preceding tax years. The trust distributes 40% of its assets to Sam, 30% of its assets to Alex, and 30% of its assets to Catherine. How much of the NOL can Sam (who has $150,000 of gross income) deduct on his return in the year that the trust terminates?
