(a)(1) The respective shares of an estate or trust and its beneficiaries, including, solely for the purpose of this allocation nonresident beneficiaries, in the Connecticut fiduciary adjustment shall be in proportion to their respective shares of federal distributable net income of the estate or trust.
(2) If the estate or trust has no federal distributable net income for the taxable year, the share of each beneficiary in the Connecticut fiduciary adjustment shall be in proportion to his share of the estate or trust income for such year, determined under local law or the governing instrument, which is required to be distributed currently and any other amounts of such income distributed in such year. Any balance of the Connecticut fiduciary adjustment shall be allocated to the estate or trust.
(b) The commissioner may, by regulation establish such other method or methods of determining to whom the items comprising the fiduciary adjustment shall be attributed as may be appropriate and equitable. Such method may be used by the fiduciary in his discretion whenever the allocation of the fiduciary adjustment pursuant to subsection (a) would result in an inequity which is substantial both in amount and in relation to the amount of the fiduciary adjustment.
