Default Re: Can you borrow from your trust fund for your own benefit?

At some point in time, the nature of the loans became a gift, even if there were legit notes. The son can never hope to repay that money.

So if this is true, the son does not have to pay income taxes. You don't pay income taxes on gifts you receive.

The IRS does not agree with you. The son pays or dad pays for him. Someone pays.

NIN,

I have a hard time not seeing tax fraud here. The IRS is very harsh on below market loans and as you point out, it is very transparent. Maybe there's some corporation / partnership shenanigans here but I have a hard time not seeing fraud.
