Has to...having the right to do so is what is required...you can't get tax deferral by not acting...it's in your controll - just like in a bank.
Income beneficary is responsible for taxes distirbuted whether received or not.
Also beenficary is responsible for k-1 related issued by trust.
Its not a right, but a legal obligation...a 'right' is kinda the wrong wayh to look at this.
In my own case, the trustee forgot to pay taxes on the trust, while I didnt forget to pay taxes on my distributions.
however, if given a k-1 its often cheaper for me to pay taxes on the k-1 income than for the trust to do so.
