§2151.2. Deferred compensation, annuities, and similar payments
A. Payments made in money or other property to a trustee over a period of years or
during the life of an individual from an annuity, an individual retirement account, an
employee-benefit plan, a pension plan, a profit-sharing plan, a deferred compensation plan,
or any similar arrangement created pursuant to income-tax incentives to fund for retirement
are allocated as follows:
(1) To the extent that a payment is characterized as interest, a dividend, or a payment
made in lieu of interest or a dividend, a trustee shall allocate the payment to income. The
trustee shall allocate to principal the balance of the payment and any other payment received
in the same accounting period that is not characterized as interest, a dividend, or an
equivalent payment.
(2) If no part of a payment is characterized as interest, a dividend, or an equivalent
payment, and all or part of the payment is required to be made, a trustee shall allocate to
income ten percent of the part that is required to be made during the accounting period and
the balance to principal. If no part of a payment is required to be made or the payment
received is the entire amount to which the trustee is entitled, the trustee shall allocate the
entire payment to principal. To the extent that a trustee exercises a right of withdrawal, a
payment is not considered to be required to be made.
B. If, in order to qualify for a marital deduction, a trustee must allocate more of a
payment to income than provided for in this Section, the trustee shall allocate to income the
additional amount necessary to qualify for the marital deduction.
