If I open a Revocable Trust bank account and place money in it, do I have to pay taxes on that? If I purchase a home and place it in the Trust, would I pay taxes on that? If I receive a distribution from an Irrevocable Trust, would that be taxed, or does the Trust pay the tax? If I am taking care of my grandmother and she pays me, can I take a gift of $14,000 instead of getting paid with a W-2 until it exceeds that amount, or do I have to report all the income? Can she write off the expense if it's a gift or compensation?
