Qualified Interest
There are special rules for valuing gifts in trust when the grantor or the grantor's family member retains an interest in the trust. If the retained interest is not a qualified interest, the retained interest is valued at zero, and the amount of the gift is the entire value of the transferred property. If the retained interest is a qualified interest, the retained interest is valued under special actuarial tables and interest rates, and the amount of the gift is the value of the transferred property reduced by the value of the retained interest. These proposed regulations provide guidance in two specific situations. The first situation is where the grantor retains an interest payable to the grantor for a term of years, or to the grantor's estate if the grantor dies prior to the expiration of the term. The second situation is where the grantor has a power to revoke a qualified interest of the grantor's spouse. TD 9181. Published February 25, 2005.
