Charitable Lead Annuity Trust (ECLAT)

I have clients that put in $1,000,000 in ECLAT. Is it true that they can use up to 30% adjusted gross income for the deduction of the $1,000,000 per year that they placed into that charitable trust ? If so, do I deduct that on schedule A under cash contribution ?

Thanks for your answer.

This is too complex for a quick, free answer from strangers on the internt on April 12.

First, the charitable contribution deduction is not $1,000,000. There are calculations to perform.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Is it not 30% of AGI ?
