Ques. The Fish Trust is a simple trust. Mrs. Jones is its sole beneficiary. In the current year, the trust earns $15,000 in taxable interest and $2,000 in tax-exempt interest. In addition, the trust recognizes an $7,000 long-term capital gain. The trustee assesses a fee of $4,000 for the year. If the trust agreement allocates fiduciary fees to income, but allocates capital gains to corpus, what is the trust’s accounting income for the year?

Ans. Accounting income of trust = taxable interest + tax-exempt interest - trustee fees for the year

= $15,000 + $2,000 - $4,000

= $ 13,000

Option b is correct ($ 13000).

Note : Capital gains are assessed separately under head capital gains, they are not part of normal accounting income. Same way tax exemption of interest has no implication in determining accounting income as tax exemption has relevance only for tax computation purposes. Trustee fees are deducted while computing accounting profits.
