hard · Certified Financial Planner Tax Planning

The Saini household establishes an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) for their three children. They contribute $54,000 to the trust in 2026 to pay the annual premium.

If the children have Crummey withdrawal powers, which of the following describes the gift tax treatment of this transaction?

  1. The parents must use $54,000 of their lifetime exclusion because ILIT contributions do not qualify for gift splitting.
  2. The contribution is a gift of a present interest and is fully sheltered by the annual exclusion.
  3. The lapse of the withdrawal power creates a taxable gift from the children to the parents.
  4. The contribution results in a taxable gift of $35,000 due to the future interest nature of trusts.
