Thanks for the quick response - We will get a new tax ID for this trust. Th=re has not been consistent tax reporting in the past (some file 1041and s=me not). I will move to have uniform reporting for the grantor trusts

Rich-I am indifferent as to whether you report the income of grantor trusts=using Leon's tax ID number or a separate EIN you get for the trusts. I th=nk you just need to be consistent.

Subject: RE: Decanting the 1997 trust to APO2

As I understand this decanting, the distributing trust and receiving trust =re both grantor trusts and have the same owner before and after. As such =he receiving trust is a continuation of the distributing trust, ie same ta= ID number for income tax purposes. While two assets may have negative=tax basis in 2014 (Blue Sunshine had negative tax basis a/o 12/31/2012 o= $(300K); AP Energy Partners LLC had a negative tax basis a/o 12/312012 of=$(10K) - we do not have K-1's FY 2013), the decanting should not trigger a=y gain on transfer.

On a related vein, I'd like to get Ada/Alan input on not using LOB SSN for =he grantor trusts and getting EIN's and reporting annually Form 1041with =rust letter. I would like to have annual 1041 filing for the trusts vs =o reporting other than included on 1040 directly.

We are planning to send the Decanting Notice to the beneficiaries of the 19=7 trust today. Just checking to be sure there are no tax or other issues f=r our accounting team. If so, please let me know as soon as you can. Thank=.
