how do you determine if a distribution from a trust is tier 1 or tier 2. The trust in question is a complex trust that does not require yearly distributions.

 

thank you.

    Tier 2 distributions would be all amounts paid to beneficiaries other than Tier 1 distributions.

     

    Tier 1 distributions are mandatory (they are required to be paid) and not discretionary.

     

    Ref Section 662(a)(1)

    If no distributions are required, then any that are actually made would generally be Tier 2.
