How are special needs trusts taxed?

Contributions to an ABLE Account are made using post-taxed dollars and are not tax deductible for purposes of federal taxes. Some states, however, allow for state income tax deductions for contributions made to an ABLE account. The income earned by an ABLE Account, however, is not taxed. A self-settled SNT is a grantor trust. As such, trust income is attributed to the beneficiary regardless of whether it is distributed and must be reported on the beneficiary’s tax return. A third-party SNT is a non-grantor trust for tax purposes. Consequently, income retained by the trust will be taxed to the trust and only income distributed to, or used on behalf of, the beneficiary is taxed to the beneficiary.
