P.S. Depending on the wording of the trust the DOD value may be of
either your wife's grandfather, or your mother-in-law that might
result in LongTerm Capital Gains when the trust or your wife sells the
assets.

You get the assets at DOD value (step up or down) and they are not
taxable to you. If there are any IRA's, 401ks etc they are income
taxable as you withdraw them. You will hvae some interest from DOD to
distribution that are taxable.

How was the trust income earned, distributed, and taxed throughout the
prior history of the trust (assuming the trust dictates were followed)?

Default Taxes on trust distribution

My wife's grandfather created a trust upon his death that was used by
his daughter (my mother-in-law) for medical expenses. Now my MIL has
passed which causes the trust to be disolved and the remaining assets
to be distributed to my wife and her sisters. Will this distribution
be taxable for my wife and myself?

Thanks,
Mark
