  1. A tax required to be paid by a trustee based on receipts allocated to income shall be paid from income.

    1. From income to the extent that receipts from the entity are allocated only to income;
    2. From principal to the extent that receipts from the entity are allocated only to principal;
    3. Proportionately from principal and income to the extent that receipts from the entity are allocated to both income and principal; and
