Trust savings are usually at a higher income tax rate and you will not often find yourself saving in this area. The individual savings will save more than the trusts so it is best to speak to a tax attorny to see if there are credits that may be unknown to you.

Can a trust open an account in a bank?

Yes, the trust is a separate legal entity just like a person, corporation or business and may own bank accounts in its name. In order to open an account, the trust must first obtain a taxpayer ID number, also called an employee identification number, for the trust. This is similar in concept to an individual's social security number, because the trust is a legal entity and it will have to report income for income tax purposes. If the trust accumulates and keeps income it earns, then the trust has to pay income taxes on that income. If the trust pays out all income to the beneficiaries, then the beneficiaries will pay the income taxes. In either event the trust has to file a tax return to either pay the income taxes or report the giving of the income to the beneficiaries so they can pay the taxes. In addition, the trustee may be required to obtain documentation from the local probate court to prove that the person claiming to be the trustee is in fact the trustee.

How much can you save on taxes if you move to Florida from Maryland?

How much you might save on state income taxes depends on your income. Florida has no personal state income tax. Income taxes before exemptions in Maryland range from 2% if you make a dollar a year to 6.25% if you make more than one million dollars, with most people falling in the 4.75% bracket. If a single person earned the median US income of $32,140 per year, they would save $1526.65 per year, before any deductions or exemptions.


Do you earn interest on your income tax trust?

It looks to me like you will actually pay income taxes on a trust fund, not earn interest. However, I would consult a reputable CPA, since you definitely don't want to skip paying taxes, as the IRS is a formidable debt collector.
