Problem $20-30($LO$.4)$

Woody wants to transfer some of the income from his investment portfolio to his daughter Wendy, age $12.$ Woody wants the trust to be able to accumulate income on Wendy's behalf and to meet any excessive expenses associated with her chronic medical conditions. Furthermore, Woody wants the trust to protect Wendy against his premature death without increasing his Federal gross estate. Thus, Woody provides the trustee with the powers to purchase insurance on his life and to meet any medical expenses that Wendy incurs.

The trust is created in $2021.$ A whole life insurance policy with five annual premium payments is purchased during that year. The trustee spends $$30,000$ for Wendy's medical expenses in $2024($but in no other year$).$ Woody dies in $2025.$

For a child age $18,$ or age $19$ to $23$ and a full$-$time student, the Kiddie Tax rules apply only if the child's earned income does not exceed one$-$half of the child's support $1(g)(2).$ A plan where the trustee would invest in

$,$ rather than

$,$ would help ensure the effectiveness of Woody's income$-$shifting plans.

If Woody drafts the trust instrument so as to allocate the entity's to the income beneficiary, Woody $($via the trust$)$ will have provided Wendy with a $$ amount of financial resources for her use. Such income would have been subject to the $$ marginal income tax rates of the trust or the daughter. This $$ preferable to transferring assets to her after paying his own Federal income tax thereon. Moreover, the entity $$ avoid grantor trust status, even though the trustee is

The amount $$2,200$ is not correct, can you help me find unearned income exceeds please.
