Form 5227 is an information return filed by split-interest trusts, those who make distributions to both charitable and noncharitable beneficiaries, while providing tax benefits to their donor. Certain charitable trusts, those treated as private foundations except that they are not exempt from income taxes, annually file Form 990-PF.
