Should you and your spouse establish a single joint living trust or separate trusts? Living trusts, also known as “revocable” trusts, allow you to minimize probate expenses, keep your financial affairs private and provide for the management of your assets in the event you become incapacitated. If you and your spouse are comfortable with each other inheriting your combined assets, a joint trust can be a good choice because of its simplicity. On the other hand, if shielding assets from creditors is a concern, separate trusts usually offer greater protection. There are also tax implications to consider. To determine which option is right for you, contact us at 713-444-1494.

If your trust is subject to high state income tax, you may be able to change its residence (or “situs”) to a state with low or no income taxes. Relocating a trust may offer a tax advantage if the trust is an irrevocable nongrantor trust, accumulates (rather than distributes) substantial amounts of ordinary income or capital gains, and can be moved to a state with low or no taxes on accumulated trust income. Call us at 713-444-1494 for more information.

Can taxpayers deduct alimony payments? It depends on when you signed your divorce or separation agreement. If it was made in 2019 or later, you can’t deduct alimony (and alimony’s not included in the recipient’s taxable income). But these payments are generally deductible (and taxable to the recipient) if they’re subject to an agreement made before 2019 — unless it was modified. As for child support payments, they aren’t deductible if you make them or considered taxable income if you receive them, regardless of when the agreement was signed. If you’re going through a divorce, consult us. We can work with your attorney to manage tax issues and minimize your tax burden. Call us at 713-444-1494.

For many people, it’s important to share their values and encourage their children or other heirs to lead responsible lives. One tool for achieving this goal is an incentive trust, which conditions distributions on certain behaviors or achievements you wish to inspire. Providing flexibility can make your trust more effective. Leading a worthy life means different things to different people. Rather than dictating specific behaviors, it’s better to establish the trust with enough flexibility to allow your loved ones to shape their own lives. Indeed, a well-designed incentive trust should accommodate nonfinancial measures of success. Call us at 713-444-1494 for more details.

Does your child have a paid internship? Don’t let him or her forget about taxes. Many interns are surprised to learn that internship stipends or other related payments are generally taxable, even if the program offers training or educational opportunities. Depending on the arrangement, payments may be reported on Form W‑2 or Form 1099. Even if no tax form is issued to your child, the income may still be taxable. If taxes aren’t withheld from internship pay, estimated tax payments might be necessary to avoid surprises when it’s time to file a tax return. If you have questions, we can help. Contact us at 713-444-1494.
