We’ll address incomplete vs. complete gifts, Kiddie Tax concerns, and state law opportunities such as Community Property Trusts and JESTs. The session also explores income shifting with non-grantor trusts, DNI and 643(f) challenges, charitable deduction strategies post-OBBBA, and key considerations when converting grantor to non-grantor trusts.
