§ 54a:5-3.

The income of a beneficiary of an estate or trust in respect of such estate or trust

shall consist of that part of the income or gains received by the estate or trust

for its taxable year ending within or with the beneficiary's taxable year which, under

the governing instrument and applicable State law, is required to be distributed currently

or is in fact paid or credited to said beneficiary. The income or gains of the estate or trust, if any, taxable to such estate or trust

shall consist of the income or gains received by it which has not been distributed

to be distributed to a beneficiary, such beneficiary may exclude such income from

his gross income in the year paid or credited to him.
