About the Program
Last summer, the U.S. Supreme Court found in favor of the taxpayer when it held that North Carolina’s income taxation of a trust based solely on the residence of a beneficiary within the state was unconstitutional under the Due Process clause. This presentation will discuss the constitutional arguments raised in North Carolina Dept. of Revenue v. Kimberley Rice Kaestner 1992 Family Trust, Fielding v. Commissioner of Revenue, and the bases and differences in state income taxation of trusts.
