On October 28, 2021, the president announced a new framework for tax system changes to raise the revenue for the expenses associated with the Build Back Better Plan. Increased income taxes will impact fiduciary income taxes for those tax years starting on or after December 31st, 2021.

The first of these is an additional 3% surtax on the modified adjusted gross income of an estate or a trust with a value of above $500,000. For the income of a trust or an estate above $200,000, there is a surtax of 5% on the modified adjusted gross income.
