What is Trust Accounting Income? Trust accounting income, or TAI, is the income that is available to distribute to the income beneficiary of a trust. The formula for calculating TAI is all income of the trust, less expenses attributable to income.

Use Schedule K-1 to report a beneficiary's share of the estate's or trust's income, credits, deductions, etc., on your Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Keep it for your records. Don't file it with your tax return, unless backup withholding was reported in box 13, code B.

Discretionary trust income The trustees should provide you with a form R185 (trust income) showing the amount of the distribution, which will be treated as having had tax deducted from it at a rate of 45% (2022/23) before it is paid to you.

Use Schedule D (Form 1041) to report gains and losses from the sale or exchange of capital assets by an estate or trust.

Interest in possession trust income The trustees will provide you with a form R185 (trust income) and the distribution will be shown in the section titled 'non-discretionary income entitlement from a trust'.

If you're the beneficiary of a bare trust you're responsible for paying tax on income from it. You need to tell HMRC about the income on a Self Assessment tax return. If you do not usually send a tax return, you need to register for self-assessment by 5 October following the tax year you had the income.

For trusts, distributions are taxable to the beneficiary, and the trust must file a Schedule K-1 for each beneficiary. The beneficiary will then report the income on their tax return. The trust must also generate a Form 1041 to report the total amount of income the trust earned from the grantor's date of death.

Tax-free income is included in trust accounting income. Trusts, like individuals, have income and expenses. In the case of a trust, however, that income and those expenses must be allocated either to the principal or the income of the trust.
