Major 2013Tax ChangesFiling Due DateThe 2013 Form 2 is due on or before Tuesday,April 15, 2014.

Employer Wellness Program Tax CreditEffective for tax years beginning on or after Janu-ary 1, 2013, a Massachusetts business that em-ploys 200 or fewer workers may qualify for a taxcredit of up to 25% of the cost of implementing a“certified wellness program” for its employees. Ataxpayer seeking to claim the credit must apply tothe Department of Public Health (DPH) for certifi-cation of its wellness program. DPH will approve adollar amount of credit for a qualifying taxpayerand issue a certificate to be provided in connectionwith filing a tax return in order to claim the credit.The amount of the credit that may be claimed bya taxpayer cannot exceed $10,000 in any tax year.DPH has promulgated a regulation, 105 CMR216.000, Massachusetts Wellness Tax Credit In-centive, which sets forth criteria for authorizingand certifying the credit. The credit is set to expireon December 31, 2017.

Brownfields CreditThe Brownfields credit is a transferable credit al-lowed to taxpayers or nonprofit organizations thatincur eligible costs to remediate oil or hazardousmaterials on property that is owned or leased forbusiness purposes and located in an economicallydistressed area. The credit may be either 50% or25% (if the site is subject to an activity and uselimitation) of the “net response and removal costs”incurred. Recent legislation extends the Brown-fields credit, previously scheduled to expire onAugust 5, 2013, for five additional years. As a re-sult of the recent legislation, the environmentalresponse action commencement cut-off date hasbeen extended to August 5, 2018, and the time forincurring eligible costs that qualify for the credithas been extended to January 1, 2019. See TIR13-15 for more information.

New Current Code ProvisionsMassachusetts AdoptsAs a general rule, Massachusetts does not adoptany federal tax law changes incorporated into theInternal Revenue Code (“IRC” or “Code”) afterJanuary 1, 2005. However, certain specific provi-sions of the personal income tax automaticallyadopt the current Code. Provisions of the Codeadopted on a current Code basis are (i) Roth IRAs,(ii) IRAs, (iii) the exclusion for gain on the sale ofa principal residence, (iv) trade or business ex-penses, (v) travel expenses, (vi) meals and enter-

tainment expenses, (vii) the maximum deferralamount of government employees’ deferred com-pensation plans, (viii) deduction for health insur-ance costs of self-employed, (ix) medical anddental expenses, (x) annuities, (xi) health savingsaccounts, and (xii) employer-provided health in-surance coverage and amounts received by anemployee under a health and accident plan. SeeTIRs 98-8, 02-11, 07-4, and 09-21 for further de-tails on Massachusetts’ personal income tax cur-rent Code provisions.

Temporary Change to IRC Sec. 179ExpensingUnder the federal American Taxpayer Relief Act of2012 (P.L. 112-240), effective for tax years begin-ning in 2012 and 2013, the dollar limitation foran election under IRC sec. 179 to expense prop-erty in its initial year is $500,000, and the IRC sec.179 overall investment phase-out threshold is$2,000,000. Massachusetts adopts these changesbecause IRC sec. 179 is a trade or business ex-pense deduction; these deductions are adoptedby Massachusetts on a current Code basis.

New Current Code ProvisionsMassachusetts Does Not AdoptFederal “Bonus” Depreciation Deduction— Not AllowedFor federal income tax purposes under IRC §168(k), bonus depreciation applies to eligibleproperty acquired after December 31, 2007 andplaced in service before January 1, 2014 (beforeJanuary 1, 2015, for certain longer-lived and trans -portation assets). The bonus depreciation rate forproperty placed in service during this period isgenerally 50%. Under 2002 legislation, Massachu-setts decoupled from bonus depreciation allowedunder IRC § 168(k), as amended and in effect forthe current year. Therefore, Massachusetts doesnot adopt this additional depreciation deduction.See TIRs 02-11 and 03-25 for further details.

Domestic Production Activity Deduction —Not AllowedFor federal income tax purposes, a business entitythat pays wages to employees and conducts eligi-ble domestic production activities is allowed a de-duction for domestic production activities underIRC § 199. Generally, in the case of a non-corpo-rate taxpayer, the deduction allows a business withqualified production activities to deduct 9% of itsU.S. adjusted gross income. Under 2004 legisla-tion, Massachusetts decoupled from the produc-tion activity deduction allowed under IRC § 199,as amended and in effect for the current year.Therefore, Massachusetts does not adopt this de-duction. See TIR 05-5.

Privacy Act NoticeUnder the authority of 42 U.S.C. § 405(c)(2)(c)(i),and G.L. c. 62C, § 5, the Department of Revenue(“Department”) has the right to require a taxpayerto furnish his Employer Identification numberand/or Social Security number, as the case may be,on a state tax return. This information is manda-tory. The Department uses these numbers for tax-payer identification, to assist in processing andkeeping track of returns, and in determining andcollecting the proper amount of tax due. UnderG.L. c. 62C, § 40, the taxpayer’s identifying num-ber is required to process a refund of overpaidtaxes. Although tax return information is generallyconfidential pursuant to G.L. c. 62C, § 21, the De-partment may disclose return information to othertaxing authorities and those entities specified inG.L. c. 62C, §§ 21, 22, or 23, and as otherwiseauthorized by law.

Common Form 2 MistakesAn incomplete or incorrect return can delay proc-essing of your return. Below are tips to help usprocess your return as quickly as possible.

Incorrect ComputationMany returns must be corrected by the Departmenteach year due to simple errors in computation.Before mailing your return, check your arithmeticto make sure the computations are correct.

Filing StatusBe sure to select the correct oval for filing status.This requirement is frequently overlooked.

Fiscal YearClearly mark tax return "Fiscal Year" if applicable.

Missing Withholding Statement(s)Make certain the state copy of all Forms W-2(Wages), W-2G (Winnings), and 1099-G, or1099-R that show Massachusetts income taxwithheld are enclosed. These forms are frequentlymissing and must be obtained from you later inorder to process the return.

Missing Supporting SchedulesMake sure you have enclosed all required sched-ules and forms to support the information onyour Form 2. These include Massachusetts Form2 Schedules B, B/R, D, E, F, H, IDD, and 2K-1, andForm 2G. We cannot process your return withoutthese schedules and forms.

numbers and/or schedules will result in the creditbeing disallowed on your tax return and an adjust-ment of your reported tax.

Missing SignaturesThousands of unsigned returns are received bythe Department every year. These returns must bereturned to taxpayers for signatures. Make suresignatures are on the correct lines.

DefinitionsComplex TrustAny trust that, for any given taxable year, doesnot qualify as a “simple trust,” as defined below.Complex trusts are governed by §§ 661 and 662of the Code.

Grantor TrustUnder G.L. c. 62, § 10(e), if the grantor or anotherperson is treated as the owner of any portion of atrust by reason of the provisions of §§ 671 to 678,inclusive, of the Code, the trust is a grantor trustand its income is taxable to the grantor or suchother person, not to the trust. The fiduciary of agrantor trust is required to file with the Depart-ment an informational return, Form 2G, along witha schedule indicating the items of income, deduc-tions, and credits against tax attributable to thetrust treated as owned by the grantor/owner andsend a copy of the schedule to the grantor/owner,who is required to report the income, deductions,and credits thereon on his Massachusetts individ-ual income tax return.

A resident grantor treated as an owner of agrantor-type trust is liable for making his own esti-mated tax payments, as applicable, on Form 1-ES.This is not the case when the owner is a nonresi-dent grantor, however. In such cases, the trusteemust make estimated tax payments on behalf ofthe nonresident grantor on Form 2-ES.

Massachusetts Source IncomeGross income derived from or effectively con-nected with: (1) any trade or business, includingany employment carried on by the taxpayer in theCommonwealth, regardless of where or when theincome is received; (2) the participation in any lot-tery or wagering transaction within the Common-wealth; or (3) the ownership of any interest in realor tangible personal property located in the Com-monwealth. Gross income derived from or effec-tively connected with any trade or business,including any employment, carried on by the tax-payer in the Commonwealth includes: gain fromthe sale of a business or of an interest in a busi-ness; distributive share income; separation, sick,or vacation pay; deferred compensation and non-qualified pension income not prevented from statetaxation by the laws of the United States; and in-come from a covenant not to compete.

Nonresident EstateAn estate of a deceased non-Massachusetts resi-dent. A nonresident estate is subject to the taxingjurisdiction of Massachusetts to the extent it earnsMassachusetts source income. In other words, theincome of a nonresident estate is taxable to the ex-tent it would be taxable to a nonresident individual.

Nonresident TrustA trust that earns Massachusetts source incomeand that is (1) a trust under the will of a decedentwho was a non-Massachusetts resident at death,(2) a trust all of whose trustees are nonresidents,or (3) a trust all of whose grantors are nonresi-dents at the time of the creation of the trust or atany time during the year for which the income iscomputed. These conditions must be met in orderto subject the trust to the taxing jurisdiction ofMassachusetts.

Qualified Settlement FundA “qualified settlement fund” as defined in IRC §468B(g) and Treas. Reg. § 1.468B-1 et seq. Seealso LR 08-7.

Resident EstateAn estate of a deceased Massachusetts resident.

Resident TrustA “resident trust” may be one of two types. It maybe a “testamentary trust” — a trust under the willof an individual who died an inhabitant of Mass-achusetts. Alternatively, it may be an “inter vivostrust” — a trust created during the life of thegrantor. To subject an inter vivos trust to the tax-ing jurisdiction of Massachusetts, the followingconditions must exist: the trustee or other fidu-ciary, or at least one of them, is a Massachusettsinhabitant, and (1) the grantor, or at least one ofthem, was a Massachusetts inhabitant when thetrust was created; or (2) the grantor, or at leastone of them, resided in Massachusetts during anypart of the year for which the income is computed;or (3) the grantor or at least one of them, died aMassachusetts inhabitant.

Simple TrustA trust that is required to distribute all of its in-come currently, may not make distributions ofprincipal, and does not provide for charitable con-tributions. Simple trusts are governed by §§ 651and 652 of the Code.

Unascertained PersonsA class of persons who cannot be identified withcertainty until the happening of a specified event.The term also applies to those of a class who fulfillsome special qualification. It is the trust termina-tion provisions that determine whether a remain-der interest is ascertained or not. For example, ifthe termination provisions read — “income to Xfor life, remainder to Y, if living, or, if not, to Y’s

estate” — the remainder interest is vested in Y andis not unascertained. However, if they read — “toX for life, remainder to Y, if living, or, if not, to Y’sissue then living” — the remainder interest is notvested in Y or Y’s issue and is unascertained be-cause it cannot be known for certain who will takethe remainder interest until X’s death. In the lattercase, gains realized by the trust will be deemed tobe income accumulated for the benefit of unascer-tained persons and taxable in full to the trust.

Uncertain InterestA type of future interest such as a contingent re-mainder or a vested remainder subject to beingcut off upon the happening of a contingency. Indetermining whether a person has an “uncertaininterest,” a remainder interest in a trust that isvested and not subject to being divested by thehappening of any contingency expressly men-tioned in the trust instrument is not classified asan uncertain interest. Any other type of future in-terest is an uncertain interest.

Common QuestionsOnce Massachusetts Jurisdiction isEstablished, to Whom is the IncomeTaxable?Resident Estate or TrustWhen income of a resident estate or trust subjectto the taxing jurisdiction of Massachusetts isbeing accumulated for a Massachusetts benefi-ciary(ies), unborn persons, unascertained per-sons, or persons with uncertain interests, suchincome is taxable to the estate or trust. Other-wise, income from such resident estate or trustincludable in the federal gross income of a benefi-ciary(ies) by reason of Code §§ 652 and 662 istaxable to the beneficiary(ies).

Nonresident Estate or TrustWhen Massachusetts source income of a nonres-ident estate or trust is being accumulated, suchincome is taxable to the estate or trust regardlessof whether it is being accumulated for a Mass-achusetts beneficiary(ies), non-Massachusettsbeneficiary(ies), unborn persons, unascertainedpersons, or persons with uncertain interests.Massachusetts source income of a nonresidentestate or trust includable in the federal gross in-come of a Massachusetts or non-Massachusettsbeneficiary(ies) by reason of Code §§ 652 and662, however, is taxable in Massachusetts to thebeneficiary(ies). All other income of a nonresidentestate or trust, i.e., all non-Massachusetts sourceincome, is taxable to a Massachusetts benefi-ciary(ies) if he receives it.

When is Form 2Due?The 2012 Form 2 is due on or before April 15,2014.

Fiscal Year FilersIf permission has been granted to file on a fiscalyear basis, the return is generally due on or beforethe 15th day of the fourth month after the close ofthe fiscal year. Prior consent must be requestedin order to file a return on a fiscal year basis. Anapplication can be made on Form 13. Fiduciariesfailing to obtain prior consent will be placed on acalendar year basis.

Short Year and Fiscal Year FilersFiscal year filers whose fiscal year began in 2013and ended in 2014 should file the 2013 Form 2 re-turn. Short year filers should file using the tax formfor the calendar year within which the short yearfalls. If the short year spans more than one calen-dar year, the filer should file using the tax form forthe calendar year in which the short year began. Ifthe current form is not available at the time theshort year filer must file, the filer should follow therules explained in TIR 11-12.

What Should I Do If I Make aMistake or Leave Something Off MyReturn?If after filing Form 2 you receive an additional taxstatement, such as a W-2 or 1099, or discoverthat an error was made, do not submit a secondtax return. If corrections are necessary, go towww. mass. gov/dor/amend.

What If I Am Unable to Pay?If you are unable to pay the full amount of tax thatyou owe, you should pay as much of your tax lia-bility as possible with your return. You will receivea bill from the Department for the remainingamount of tax due plus accrued interest and pen -alty charges. If the amount of the bill is less than$5,000 and you still cannot pay it in full, you mustapply formally to the Department for a small pay-ment agreement in order to avoid collection activ-ity. Setting up a small payment agreement willallow you to make monthly payments over a setperiod to meet your unpaid liability. You can applyfor a small payment agreement by visiting WebFilefor Income at www.mass.gov/dor.

How Do I Request An Extension?To receive an extension of time to file, you gener-ally must file Form M-8736, and pay the amountof tax you expect to owe on or before the due datefor filing your Massachusetts income tax return.The filing and approval of this form will extend thedue date for six months. Interest is charged on anytax not paid by the original due date.

Note: Your extension will not be valid if you fail topay 80% of your total tax liability through with-holding, estimated tax payments, or with yourMassachusetts Form M-8736.

Exception to Form M-8736 Filing Requirement.Notwithstanding the above, the Commissioner ofRevenue will grant certain fiduciaries an auto-matic six month extension of time to file a tax re-turn, without the need for an application (FormM-8736) by such taxpayer, provided the followingcriteria are met: (1) the taxpayer owes no tax withthe return (including cases where the taxpayer isdue a refund); and (2) 100% of the tax due for thetaxable year has been paid, through one of themeans described below, by the original due datefor filing the return.

For purposes of applying the second criteria, incalculating whether 100% of the tax due for thetaxable year has been paid by the original tax filingdue date, the Commissioner will only consider thefollowing as relevant:

1.Taxes paid through withholding;

2.Timely estimated payments of tax;

3.Credits from the current year return; and

4.Credits forwarded from the previous tax period,but limited only to a refund from the prior tax yearapplied to the next year’s tax liability.

For more information, see TIR 06-21.

Are Wholly CharitableTrusts/Private FoundationsRequired to File Form 2?Funds held in trust for public charitable purposesare exempt from tax under G.L. c. 62, § 3, if suchincome is currently payable to, or irrevocably setaside for, public charitable purposes. Trustees ofwholly charitable trusts, i.e., trusts with no non-charitable interests, are required to file a Form 2however, even though such trusts’ taxable incomemay be zero. Trustees of split-interest trusts, e.g.,pooled income funds, charitable remainder annu-ity trusts, and charitable remainder unitrusts, areto file a Form 2G, not Form 2.

What Deductions and ExemptionsAre Allowable on the Guardianship/Conservatorship Form 2?Every deduction and exemption that an individualis entitled to take on Form 1 may be claimed by aguardian or conservator on behalf of a ward onForm 2. Supporting documentation must be en-closed, including all applicable schedules fromU.S. Form 1040, e.g., Schedule A, Itemized Deduc-tions, if claiming the medical expense exemption.

Generally, deductions may be used only against5.25% income. See Schedule C-2 for the limitedcircumstances under which deductions may beapplied against interest (other than interest fromMassachusetts banks), dividends, and capital gainincome. Any deduction or exemption claimedmust be entered first on Form 2, line 10, and thenon line 17, line 26, and line 34, as appropriate;lines typically used by an estate or trust to claiman income distribution deduction. Such deductionis not allowable to a guardianship or conservator-ship, however, thus, these lines are available to aguardian or conservator for claiming deductionsand exemptions on behalf of a ward. Any deduc-tion or exemption claimed must be explained via asupporting statement attached to the Form 2. Thepreprinted language on lines 10, 17, 26, and 34should be crossed out and the words “see sup-porting statement” should be added.

Should I Be Making Estimated TaxPayments?Generally, every fiduciary receiving income taxableat the entity level must make estimated tax pay-ments on Massachusetts Form 2-ES, if the entityexpects to owe more than $400 in taxes for thetaxable year. Estimated tax payments made by afiduciary on behalf of a beneficiary of a pooled in-

come fund, charitable remainder annuity trust,charitable remainder unitrust, or on behalf of anon-resident grantor of a grantor-type trust or anonresident entity beneficiary that is a trust orother entity also must be made on Form 2-ES.Fiduciaries required to deduct and withhold pay-ments under G.L. c. 62, § 10(g) on behalf of a non-resident individual beneficiary, in contrast, mustmake estimated tax payments on the beneficiary’sbehalf on Form 1-ES. For more information, seeDOR Directive 07-4.

Fiduciaries filing Form 2 with total net taxable in-come of $50,000 or more must make all estimatedtax payments by electronic means. Fiduciaries withincome less than the above cited threshold maymake payments electronically as well, but are notrequired to. Generally, the first payment vouchermust be filed on or before April 15 of the taxableyear. The estimated tax may be paid in full with thefirst payment voucher or in four installments onor before April 15, June 15, September 15 of thetaxable year, and January 15 of the following year.Fiscal year taxpayers must file their first paymentvoucher on or before the 15th day of the fourthmonth of the fiscal year. The estimated tax may bepaid in full with the first payment voucher or in fourequal installments on or before the 15th day of thefourth, sixth, and ninth months of the fiscal year,and the 15th day of the next fiscal year. Be sure touse the appropriate voucher for each payment andfill in the tax year and date. Whenever a due datefalls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, thefiling and payment may be made on the next suc-ceeding business day. Fiduciaries who underpayor fail to pay their estimated taxes may incur apenalty. Form M-2210F, Underpayment of Mass-achusetts Estimated Income Tax for Fiduciaries, isused to compute the additional charge.

Finally, a resident beneficiary subject to tax at thebeneficiary level pursuant to G.L. c. 62, § 10 (h)must make estimated tax payments on his dis-tributable share of the estate or trust income.Such payments are to be made on MassachusettsForm 1-ES. For more information, see DOR Di-rective 07-4.

Can Unused Capital Losses bePassed Through to Beneficiaries?Unused capital losses of an estate or trust are al-locable to the estate’s or trust’s corpus and can beused by the estate or trust itself in future years.These losses cannot be passed through to benefi-ciaries, even in the year of termination.

Does Massachusetts Have a 65 DayElection?No. In determining the amount paid, credited, orotherwise required to be distributed to a benefi-

ciary (lines 3, 8, 13, and 18 of Schedule IDD, In-come Distribution Deduction), Massachusetts hasnot adopted the 65 day election available to estatesand complex trusts federally under Code § 663(b).Therefore, any distribution or portion thereof to abeneficiary made within the first 65 days followingthe close of the 2013 taxable year, treated federallyas having been distributed in 2013, is to be treatedfor Massachusetts purposes in 2013 as accumu-lated income and is taxable at the estate or trustlevel, with one exception. Non-Massachusettssource income accumulated for a vested nonresi-dent beneficiary is not taxable at the estate or trustlevel, but is deductible on Form 2, lines 12, 19,28, or 36, as applicable. Moreover, any distribu-tion or portion thereof to a beneficiary madewithin the first 65 days following the close of the2013 taxable year will be treated in the year ofdistribution, i.e., 2014 as a tax free distribution.

Does the Pass-Through EntityWithholding Program Apply toEstates and Trusts?Although the term “pass-through entity,” as usedin the pass-through entity withholding program,applicable to most pass-through entities and theirnon-resident members or beneficiaries, whichMassachusetts adopted for tax years beginning onor after January 1, 2009, refers to an entity whoseincome, loss, deductions, and credits flow throughto members or beneficiaries for Massachusettstax purposes, such as estates and trusts not taxedat the entity level, most estates and trusts are notrequired to participate in the pass-through entitywithholding program because they are required towithhold under other Massachusetts provisions.See, e.g., G.L. c. 62, § 10(g), requiring trusts andestates to withhold or make estimated paymentson payments to nonresidents, including nonresi-dent grantors of grantor trusts.

For more information on the applicability of thepass-through entity withholding program to trustsand estates, see the Guide for Pass-Through Enti-ties — Including Registration Information. Seealso, 830 CMR 62B.2.2, Pass-Through EntityWithholding.

Schedule TDS is avail-able on the DOR website at www. mass. gov/ dor.The inconsistent filing position penalty (see TIR06-5, section IV) applies to taxpayers that take aninconsistent position in reporting income. Thesetaxpayers must “disclose the inconsistency” whenfiling their Massachusetts return. If such inconsis-tency is not disclosed, the taxpayer will be subjectto a penalty equal to the amount of tax attributableto the inconsistency. This penalty is in addition toany other penalties that may apply.

A taxpayer is deemed to have taken an “inconsis-tent position” when the taxpayer pays less tax inMassachusetts based upon an interpretation ofMassachusetts law that differs from the positiontaken by the taxpayer in another state where thetaxpayer files a return and the governing law in thatother state “is the same in all material respects”as the Massachusetts law. The Commissioner ofRevenue may waive or abate the penalty if the in-consistency or failure to disclose was attributableto reasonable cause and not willful neglect.

Member of a Lower-Tier EntityA tiered structure is a pass-through entity that hasa pass-through entity as a member. The term“pass-through entity” refers to an entity whose in-come, loss, deductions and credits flow throughto members for Massachusetts tax purposes, andincludes estates and trusts not taxed at the entitylevel. The term “member” includes beneficiaries ofa pass-through entity. As between two entities, thepass-through entity that is a member is the upper-tier entity, and the entity of which it is a memberis the lower-tier entity. If the estate or trust is amember of another pass-through entity, it shouldanswer “yes” to this question.

Schedule IDDIncome Distribution DeductionEstate and trust income includable in the federalgross income of a beneficiary by reason of InternalRevenue Code (“Code”) § 652 (the section of theCode that determines the amount and character ofthe gross income includable by a simple trust ben-eficiary) or § 662 (the section of the Code that de-termines the amount and character of the grossincome includable by a complex trust beneficiary)is no longer taxable at the estate or trust level;rather it is to be taken into account in calculatingthe beneficiary’s Massachusetts taxable incomeunder G.L. c. 62, § 2. To avoid double taxation, atrustee or other fiduciary receiving income in-cluded in the gross income of a beneficiary by rea-son of Code §§ 652 or 662 is allowed a deductionon Form 2 in computing the taxable income of theestate or trust for that portion of Part A, B, or Cincome attributable to such beneficiary.

The amount deductible on Form 2, line 10 fromPart B income; line 17 from part A Interest andDividend Income; line 26 from Part A 12% CapitalGains; and line 34 from Part C 5.25% CapitalGains is to be calculated on Schedule IDD, IncomeDistribution Deduction.

Note: Schedule IDD does not apply when all of theincome is accumulated within the estate or trust.Note: the taxation of grantor-type trusts, pooledincome funds, charitable remainder annuity trusts,and charitable remainder unitrusts has not beenaffected by the above law change. The incomefrom these entities continues to be taxed as it hasbeen taxed in the past. Additionally, estate or trustincome not includable in the federal gross incomeof a beneficiary by reason of the above Code sec-tions continues to be taxable at the trust level.

65 Day Election Does Not ApplyIn determining the amount paid, credited, or oth-erwise required to be distributed to a beneficiary(lines 3, 8, 13, and 18 of Schedule IDD), Mass-achusetts has not adopted the 65 day electionavailable to estates and complex trusts federallyunder Code § 663(b). Therefore, any distributionor portion thereof to a beneficiary made within thefirst 65 days following the close of the 2013 tax-able year, treated federally as having been distrib-uted in 2013, is not includible on Schedule IDD.Rather, it is to be treated for Massachusetts pur-poses in the 2013 taxable year as accumulatedincome and is taxable at the estate or trust level,with one exception. Non-Massachusetts sourceincome accumulated for a vested nonresidentbeneficiary is not taxable at the estate or trustlevel, but is deductible on Form 2, lines 12, 19,28, or 36, as applicable.

Note: any distribution or portion thereof to a ben-eficiary made within the first 65 days followingthe close of the 2013 taxable year will be treatedin the year of distribution, i.e., 2014, as a tax freedistribution and will not be includible on the 2014Schedule IDD.
