NIMCRUT required unitrust distribution

[linduca1216]

I thought there was a time frame after the year-end, where the required unitrust distribution could be made and not show up as a liability on the balance sheet...    Of course, now I can't find info on that.

Thanks~

Maybe you are remembering reading this?

"Line 55. Other liabilities.

List and show the amount of each liability not reportable on lines 51 through 54. Attach a separate statement if more space is needed.

Charitable remainder unitrusts must include any unitrust amounts applicable to prior periods that are unpaid but required to be paid as of the valuation date, since such amounts reduce the net FMV of the trust's assets. However, don't include any make-up amount for a NIMCRUT."

So, if the withdrawal wasn't made for a prior year, it would not be shown on the b/s NOR would the current amount due to be paid out for the tax year.... I think I'm missing something here... brain is getting tired!

I forgot to mention this is a NIMCRUT

It's in the title. We got that part. I was trying to spot the wording you thought you remembered.

Yes, and you were right about the reference!

Am I correct in my assumption re: not showing it on b/s?
