The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) prohibits individual taxpayers from claiming miscellaneous itemized deductions for any taxable year beginning after Dec. 31, 2017, and before Jan. 1, 2026. Specifically, the proposed regulations clarify the following deductions are allowable in figuring adjusted gross income and are not miscellaneous itemized deductions: Costs paid or incurred in connection with the administration of the estate or trust which would not have been incurred otherwise. Deductions concerning the personal exemption of an estate or non-grantor trust. Deductions for trusts distributing current income. Deductions for trusts accumulating income Finally, the guidance clarifies how to determine the character, amount and manner for allocating excess deductions that beneficiaries succeeding to the property of a terminated estate or non-grantor trust may claim on their individual income tax returns.
