The US tax and reporting rules applicable to foreign trusts--principally embodied as Subchapter J of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended--are notoriously complex. Now, with this convenient and practical volume, anyone who must deal with these rules will find their use and meaning clearly explained, and proceed confidently to the best outcome in any situation where they apply. United States Taxation of Foreign Trusts covers the following topics in detail: Regular nongrantor (or accumulation) trusts of both the simple' variety and the complex' type with its challenging throwback' rules and interest charge on accumulation distributions; The circumstances under which certain foreign trusts; The special rules formulated solely for foreign trusts such as section 672(f) (barring the application of the normal grantor trust rules to certain foreign trusts), section 643(h) (relating to distributions by certain foreign trusts through nominees), and section 643(i) (relating to loans from foreign trusts); Reporting and penalty provisions and the accompanying IRS forms; and Special issues, such as those surrounding incoming immigrants and outgoing expatriates. Numerous examples throughout the book clarify the valid procedures and alternatives available at every point, a feature especially valuable in applying provisions that still await settled regulation and case law.
