This question was previously raised but not answered. Can someone please explain why the fees allocable to corpus are subtracted in calculating DNI? Also, can someone explain the difference between fiduciary income and DNI? Thanks!!
Here’s the question from Becker:
Skipper Family Trust, a simple trust, reported the following items of income and expenses during the year:
Ordinary income from rental properties (gross) $ 5,000
Taxable dividend income 1,500
Interest income from corporate bonds 1,000
Interest income from tax-exempt municipal bonds 500
Rental expenses 2,500
Trustee fees allocable to income 1,000
Trustee fees allocable to corpus 500
What is Skipper Family Trust’s distributable net income (DNI) for the year?
Here’s the answer:
Trust gross income:
Rental income $ 5,000
Dividend income 1,500
Interest income from corp. bonds 1,000
Total: $ 7,500
Less: Trust deductions allocable to income
Rental expenses $ (2,500)
Trustee fees allocable to income (1,000)
Total: (3,500)
Adjusted total income 4,000
Plus: Adjusted tax-exempt interest 500
Less: Capital gains allocable to corpus 0
Less: Trustee fees allocable to corpus (500)
Distributable net income = $ 4,000
