In July, California Governor Newsome signed legislation that disallows the incomplete gift non-grantor trusts (INGs) as a way to avoid CA state tax income. The law is retroactive to January 1, 2023. In this episode of the PFP Section podcast, Bob Keebler, CPA/PFS, interviews CA attorney, Kirsten Wolff, to guide CPAs on how to proactively plan with this new legislation. Bob poses the following questions to Kirsten:

• Do all ING trusts now trigger CA tax?
• Say more about the exception for charitable trusts.
• What types of trusts are not impacted by the new legislation?
• How do the throwback rules apply?
• How should CPAs plan for their CA clients who had ING trusts that received income or incurred capital gain before the law took effect?
• What should be done with ING trusts as a result of the new rules?
