Understanding the Different Types of Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (CRAT) Charitable Remainder Unitrust (CRUT) Net Income Charitable Remainder Unitrust (NICRUT) Net Income Make-up Charitable Remainder Unitrust (NIMCRUT) “I would like to donate an asset to charity, but I need a stream of income from the asset during my life.” “I have an asset with a low basis. How can I sell the asset and minimize the tax consequences?”
20
20For producer use only. Not for presentation to the public. Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust Established and funded with single contribution One-time valuation of trust – initial fair market value Specified annuity benefit paid at least annually Fixed amount, or Fixed percentage based on initial fair market value Annuity must be between 5% and 50% of the trust’s initial fair market value 5% probability test
21
21For producer use only. Not for presentation to the public. Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (continued) Income payout will not vary with trust investment performance Must make payments to beneficiaries whether or not there is enough trust income Trustee can deplete trust principal to make income payments to income beneficiaries Payout period not to exceed 20 years or life/lives of income beneficiary(ies) At trust term, remaining trust principal passes to charity(ies)
22
22For producer use only. Not for presentation to the public. Charitable Remainder Unitrust Types Standard Net income Net income with make-up
23
23For producer use only. Not for presentation to the public. General CRUT Features Can accept multiple contributions Trust valued annually Pays specified fixed percentage of trust value based on annual valuation of trust Payout must be between 5% and 50% of trust value
24
24For producer use only. Not for presentation to the public. Net Income Charitable Remainder Unitrust Operates like standard CRUT, but income payments can only be made from current trust earnings If trust income in given year exceeds payout rate specified in trust document, beneficiary(ies) can only receive specified amount If trust income in given year is less than payout rate, beneficiary(ies) can only receive income trust earned in that year Trustee cannot deplete trust principal to make income payments to income beneficiaries
25
25For producer use only. Not for presentation to the public. Net Income Make-up Charitable Remainder Unitrust Follows same payout rules as NICRUT, plus: If trust income exceeds stated payout rate, can pay income beneficiary more to make up for years in which payments did not meet trust-defined rate Trustee must distribute greater payments in years when current income exceeds trust rate to make up for those in years when payments did not equal trust rate

27
27For producer use only. Not for presentation to the public. Asset Replacement: Life Insurance and CRTs What is asset replacement? Gifts to a CRT are irrevocable Heirs do not have claim to donated assets Life insurance provides way to “replace” what loved ones would have received Benefits of using life insurance Potential payment of insurance premiums with CRT income distributions Removal of life insurance death benefit from donor’s estate Estate tax liquidity for heirs Death benefits generally received income tax-free by policy’s beneficiaries
28
28For producer use only. Not for presentation to the public. Taxation of CRT Income “Four-tiered” tax system Ordinary income Capital gains Tax-free income Return of cost basis, which is also tax-free income

29For producer use only. Not for presentation to the public. CRT Tax Implications Income tax deduction based on: Trust’s payout terms Payout rate, payment frequency, and duration Initial value of assets contributed to trust Federal midterm rate, declared monthly Capital gains tax – deferred until distributions Estate tax Donated assets removed from donor’s taxable estate Future growth/appreciation outside of estate Gift tax – may be due if income stream is payable to person other than donor

32
32For producer use only. Not for presentation to the public. How a CRUT Works 3. Annual income from trust goes to pay premiums 1.John contributes $5 million business to CRT 2.
