Remainder Unitrust |
Charity gets the REMAINDER of the trust (when current beneficiary dies).
Unitrust, the annual payment to you must be a FIXED % of the market value of a trust's assets as determined each year or, alternatively, the lesser of 5 percent of such value or the trust's income. You can see that there are no guarantees of the specific amount you will receive. Your payments will depend upon the changing values of the trust property or income from year to year. |

Charitable
Remainder Annuity Trust |

Pooled Income Trust
|
Under a Pooled Income Fund the charity is BOTH the trustee AND the charitable beneficiary. The donor will donate property specifying that the income from the property will go to himself and/ot other person(s) and upon their death, the corpus will be distributed to the charity. It is called a pooled income fund, because the charity will "pool" the donations from a number of different donors into one fund. This avoids the expenses of maintaining different trusts, as the charity is usually the trust creator. The biggest difference is that the trust must distribute ALL of the income currently, not just a set amount or set percentage. If it does not distribute all of its income then the excess will be taxed at the regular trust tax rates.

CLT and income tax deduction
The charitable income tax deduction associated with the creation of a charitable lead trust depends on your relationship to that trust. |
The charitable income tax deduction associated with the creation of a charitable lead trust depends on your relationship to that trust.
If the Internal Revenue Service considers you to be the “owner” of the trust, you will be eligible for a charitable income tax deduction in the year you create the trust equal to the present value of the Library Company's income stream. You will also be required each year to include any income earned by the trust in your income. If you are NOT the “OWNER” of the trust, you will not be eligible for a current charitable income tax deduction, but you will not include the trust's income in your own. This consequence is particularly useful to a person who wishes to contribute amounts in excess of the allowable deduction levels for income tax purposes. |
