🇬🇧 English

The IRS is asking the public to comment on an existing information collection tied to rules on the tax residence of trusts and estates. The notice does not change tax rules; it starts a review of whether the paperwork is useful, clear, and not overly burdensome. Trustees, estate administrators, tax advisers, and others who deal with trust or estate tax filings may want to comment by August 21, 2026. Comments will be public, so sensitive personal information should not be included.
