A designated settlement fund, as defined in section 468B(d)(2), is taxed in the manner described in §1.468B-2. The rules for transferors to a qualified settlement fund described in §1.468B-3 apply to transferors to a designated settlement fund. Similarly, the rules for claimants of a qualified settlement fund described in §1.468B-4 apply to claimants of a designated settlement fund. A fund, account, or trust that does not qualify as a designated settlement fund is, however, a qualified settlement fund if it meets the requirements of a qualified settlement fund described in §1.468B-1.
