PART 1_INCOME TAXES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1.643(a)-0  Distributable net income; deduction for distributions; 
in general.

    The term distributable net income has no application except in the 
taxation of estates and trusts and their beneficiaries. It limits the 
deductions allowable to estates and trusts for amounts paid, credited, 
or required to be distributed to beneficiaries and is used to determine 
how much of an amount paid, credited, or required to be distributed to a 
beneficiary will be includible in his gross income. It is also used to 
determine the character of distributions to the beneficiaries. 
Distributable net income means for any taxable year, the taxable income 
(as defined in section 63) of the estate or trust, computed with the 
modifications set forth in Sec. Sec. 1.643(a)-1 through 1.643(a)-7.
