(ii) a decedent's estate;
(iii) a trust with a terminating income interest; or
(iv) a payor under a contract naming the trust or its trustee as beneficiary.
(2) Money or other property received from a principal asset's sale, exchange, liquidation or change in form. This paragraph includes realized profit subject to this subchapter.
