§ 1.679-6 Outbound migrations of domestic trusts.

(a) In general.

(b) Amount deemed transferred. For purposes of paragraph (a) of this section, the property deemed transferred to the trust when it becomes a foreign trust includes undistributed net income, as defined in section 665(a), attributable to the property previously transferred.
