Yes the distributions from a Rabbi Trust are clearly taxable. The trust is funded with pretax dollars and investment returns compound tax-deferred until distributed, generally at the time of an employee's retirement or termination. This is much like a 401K or other qualified plan. A rabbi trust is not a qualified plan, assets held in the trust are not current assets of the employee/beneficiary and are subject to loss or forfeiture if the employer becomes insolvent/bankrupt, in which case those assets are subject to the claims of the employers general creditors. This is the key difference as compared to qualified plans such as a 401K. The benefit is tax deferral, not tax avoidance. The risk is employer bankruptcy before payout.

Are trust distributions taxable to the beneficiary?
Trust and Estate Income Distribution Deduction Taxable income earned by a trust or estate is taxable either to the trust or estate or to its beneficiaries but not to both. The trust or estate is allowed an income distribution deduction for income taxed to the beneficiaries. Beneficiaries receive Schedule K-1 informing them of the amount and types of income to include on their individual tax returns. Income passed through to the beneficiaries retains its original character (interest, dividends, capital gains, etc.). The income distribution deduction is the LESSER of: • Distributions less tax-exempt income included in distribution, or • Distributable net income less tax-exempt interest.
