Under section 681, the unlimited charitable contributions deduction otherwise allowable to a trust under section 642(c) is, in general, subject to percentage limitations, corresponding to those applicable to contributions by an individual under section 170(b)(1)
(A)and (B), under the following circumstances;
(a)To the extent that the deduction is allocable to “unrelated business income”;
(b)For taxable years beginning before January 1, 1970, if the trust has engaged in a prohibited transaction;
(c)For taxable years beginning before January 1, 1970, if income is accumulated for a charitable purpose and the accumulation is
(1)unreasonable,
(2)substantially diverted to a noncharitable purpose, or
(3)invested against the interests of the charitable beneficiaries. Further, if the circumstance set forth in paragraph
(a)or
(c)of this section is applicable, the deduction is limited to income actually paid out for charitable purposes, and is not allowed for income only set aside or to be used for those purposes. If the circumstance set forth in paragraph
(b)of this section is applicable, deductions for contributions to the trust may be disallowed. The provisions of section 681 are discussed in detail in §§ 1.681(a)-2 through 1.681(c)-1.
