Really? I’m surprised they’re taxed on retained DNI too.

I'm leaning towards option D since I don't think either statement is fully accurate based on what we covered about estate taxation.

I feel like both statements could be correct, but I remember practicing a question that said estates are not exactly like partnerships in terms of taxation.

I think statement II sounds familiar because we discussed distributable net income in class, but I can't recall if it's retained income that gets taxed.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. Statement I says they are taxed similarly to partnership entities, and Statement II says they are taxed on distributable net income (DNI) that is retained. I'll need to compare that to my understanding of how estates and trusts are actually taxed.

I think option C is the way to go. Using a different CIDR range for the Distribution VPC will help keep the networks separate and organized. Plus, having control over the subnets is always a good idea.
