Annual Report to Shareholders

To Our Shareholders,

   We are pleased to provide you with Legg Mason Income Trust’s annual report, combining reports for the Legg Mason Core Bond Fund, High Yield Portfolio, Investment Grade Income Portfolio, Limited Duration Bond Portfolio and the U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio.

   The following table summarizes key statistics for the Primary Class of each portfolio, as of December 31, 2004:

					Net Asset Value
	SEC YieldA		Average Life		Per Share
Core Bond		2.50%		5.85 years	$	9.95
High Yield		5.87%		5.42 years	$	9.39
Investment Grade		4.06%		9.23 years	$	10.81
Limited DurationB		2.44%		3.23 years	$	10.36
U.S. Government Money MarketC		1.38%		51 days	$	1.00

   For the year ended December 31, 2004, total returns for the Primary Class of shares of the High Yield, Investment Grade and Limited Duration Portfolios were +10.51%, +6.29%, and +1.89%, respectively. Total returns for the Institutional Class of shares were +11.15%, +6.85%, and +2.41%, respectively. The Core Bond Fund’s Primary Class of Shares, which commenced operations on February 27, 2004, had a total return of +1.90% for the period from its inception to December 31, 2004. (Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in a portfolio’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions.)

   For each of our Funds, historical performance is not indicative of future results, and the principal value of the Core Bond, High Yield, Investment Grade and Limited Duration Portfolios will continue to fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share; however, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio is primarily invested in government agency securities. Although most government agency securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, all such securities held in the Portfolio at December 31, 2004 carry the highest quality ratings of the Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s rating services.

^A  SEC yields reported for the Core Bond, High Yield, Investment Grade and Limited Duration Portfolios are for the 30 days ended December 31, 2004. For the U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, the SEC yield is for the 7 days ended December 31, 2004.

^B  Limited Duration was formerly the U.S. Government Intermediate Portfolio, see page 81 for additional information about the change.

^C  An investment in the U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Core Bond Fund

   The cumulative total return for the Core Bond Fund for the period from its inception (February 27, 2004) to December 31, 2004, is presented below, along with the total return of its benchmark:

		Since
		Inception
Core Bond Fund
	Primary Class		+1.90%
Lehman Aggregate Bond IndexA			+2.40%

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information please visit www.leggmasonfunds.com. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.

   Stronger-than-expected economic activity, higher-than-expected inflation, and a moderate tightening of monetary policy drove short- and intermediate-term yields substantially higher this past year, while bond yields were steady to somewhat lower. The yield curve flattened significantly in the process. Considering that both core and headline consumer price inflation rates roughly doubled from the levels of 2003, and the economy enjoyed a second year of above-trend growth, the bond market’s stability in the face of these pressures was remarkable. Non-U.S. fixed-income markets generally performed better and with substantially less volatility, thanks to slower growth and subdued inflation. Japanese rates were relatively stable, and deflationary pressures eased. The Bank of England raised its target rate four times during the period, while the European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained on hold. Monetary conditions in the U.K. are now tight enough to have inverted both the nominal and real yield curves. Bolstered by a stronger economy and generally accommodative monetary policies, investment grade spreads tightened, with spreads on lower-quality issuers and emerging market bonds narrowing significantly as yield-starved investors found them increasingly attractive against a backdrop of excellent economic and policy fundamentals.

Management’s Discussion of Fund

     Performance — Continued

Despite higher short-term yields and a flatter curve, spreads on mortgage-backed issues tightened, and the mortgage-backed security sector delivered good risk-adjusted performance overall. U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) enjoyed strong performance as real yields declined relative to nominal yields, and inflation proved to be higher than expected.

   The Core Bond Fund was challenged by this environment, with strategies producing mixed results. From its inception on February 27, 2004, the total return (appreciation or depreciation in the Fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions) of the Primary Class lagged the performance of its benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, delivering 1.90% vs. 2.40%. The Fund benefited from an emphasis on BBB-rated bonds, thanks to a general tightening of credit spreads. An overweight exposure to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) for most of the period also contributed to performance, since real yields rose by less than their nominal counterparts, and inflation proved to be somewhat higher than expected. Modestly overweight exposure to the mortgage-backed sector for most of the period added to performance as spreads tightened, but this was largely offset later in the period as mortgage exposure was reduced to underweight yet the sector continued to perform well. Duration exposure was neutral to somewhat short for the period, and this detracted from performance since most yields rose by less than forward rates had anticipated. A barbelled exposure to maturities had a positive impact on performance, since the yield curve flattened.

Annual Report to Shareholders

Expense Example

Core Bond Fund

   As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Each example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2004, and held through December 31, 2004.

Actual Expenses

   The first line for each class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for the Fund. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

   The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

	Beginning		Ending		Expenses PaidA		Annualized
	Account Value		Account Value		During the Period		Expense
	7/1/04		12/31/04		7/1/04 to 12/31/04		Ratio
Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,040.80	$	5.14		1.00%
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		1,000.00		1,020.16		5.09

^A These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (184), and divided by 365.

Performance Information

Core Bond Fund

   The following graph compares the Fund’s total returns against that of a closely matched broad-based securities market index. The graph illustrates the cumulative total return of an initial $10,000 investment in the Fund’s Primary Class shares, for the periods indicated. The line for the Fund represents the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The line representing the securities market index does not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other administrative expenses. Both the Fund’s and the index’s results assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

   Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in a fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were reinvested at the time they were paid. No adjustment has been made for any income taxes payable by shareholders.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

High Yield Portfolio

   Average annual total returns for the High Yield Portfolio and its benchmark for various periods ended December 31, 2004, are presented below:

		One		Five		Ten		Since
		Year		Years		Years		InceptionA
High Yield
	Primary Class		+10.51%		+1.45%		+6.08%		+5.28%
	Institutional Class		+11.15%		+1.84%		N/A		+1.60%
Lehman High Yield IndexB			+11.13%		+6.97%		+8.13%		+7.11%

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information for the primary class please visit www.leggmasonfunds.com; for the Institutional Class please call 1-888-425-6432. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.

   For the calendar year 2004, the Primary Class of the Fund returned 10.51% versus 11.13% for the Fund’s benchmark, the Lehman High Yield Index (“Index”). The option-adjusted spread of the Index narrowed from +394 basis points (bps)^C on December 31, 2003, to +288 bps on December 31, 2004. The portfolio’s underperformance is primarily attributable to the portfolio manager’s decision to underweight the top performing industries: natural gas pipelines, and chemicals which were up 14.04% and 15.72%, respectively in 2004. Duration exposure was neutral to somewhat short for the period, and this detracted from performance since most yields rose by less than forward rates had anticipated. Once again, lower-rated issuers in the Index drove performance in the high yield sector. CCC rated issues returned 15.77% vs. BB rated issues, which returned just 9.61%.

^A The inception date of the Primary Class is February 1, 1994. The inception date of the Institutional Class is May 5, 1998. Index returns are for periods beginning January 31, 1994.

^B A market value-weighted index that tracks the daily price-only, coupon, and total return performance of non-investment grade, fixed rate, publicly placed, dollar-denominated, and non-convertible debt registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

^C 100 basis points = 1%.

Expense Example

High Yield Portfolio

   As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Each example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2004, and held through December 31, 2004.

Actual Expenses

   The first line for each class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

   The second line for each class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the relevant class’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the class’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples for the relevant class that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

		Beginning		Ending		Expenses PaidA
		Account		Account		During the		Annualized
		Value		Value		Period		Expense
		7/1/04		12/31/04		7/1/04 to 12/31/04		Ratio
Primary Class:
	Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,095.90	$	7.18		1.36%
	Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		1,000.00		1,018.35		6.92
Institutional Class:
	Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,099.00	$	4.23		0.80%
	Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		1,000.00		1,021.17		4.08

^A These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (184), and divided by 365.

Annual Report to Shareholders

Performance Information

High Yield Portfolio

   The following graphs compare the Fund’s total returns against that of a closely matched broad-based securities market index. The graphs illustrate the cumulative total return of an initial $10,000 investment in the Primary Class and an initial $1,000,000 investment in the Institutional Class of the Fund, for the periods indicated. The lines for the Fund represent the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The line representing the securities market index does not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other administrative expenses. Both the Fund’s results and the index’s results assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

   Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in a fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were reinvested at the time they were paid. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results. No adjustment has been made for any income taxes payable by shareholders.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Investment Grade Income Portfolio

   Average annual total returns for the Investment Grade Income Portfolio and its benchmark for various periods ended December 31, 2004, are presented below:

		One		Five		Ten		Since
		Year		Years		Years		InceptionA
Investment Grade
	Primary Class		+6.29%		+8.38%		+8.16%		+7.96%
	Institutional Class		+6.85%		+8.94%		N/A		+7.51%
Lehman Credit Bond IndexB			+4.08%		+8.05%		+7.91%		+8.19%

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information please visit www.leggmasonfunds.com. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.

   For the calendar year 2004, the Primary Class of the Fund returned 6.29% versus 4.08% for the Fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Credit Bond Index. The option-adjusted spread of the Index narrowed from +89 basis points (bps)^C to similar duration Treasuries on December 31, 2003, to +75 bps on December 31, 2004. The portfolio’s outperformance is primarily attributable to the manager’s decision to overweight BBB rated issues, which returned 6.25% for the year, as well as favorable overweight and underweight sub-sector and issue selection decisions. Overweights to communications and energy which were up 6.38% and 7.12%, respectively in 2004 and an underweight to non-corporate issuers which were up 4.48% helped relative performance. Duration exposure was neutral to somewhat short for the period, and this detracted from performance since most yields rose by less than forward rates had anticipated.

Western Asset Management Company

January 28, 2005

^A The inception date of the Primary Class is August 7, 1987. The inception date of the Institutional Class is December 1, 1995. Index returns are for periods beginning July 31, 1987.

B	This index includes all publicly issued, fixed rate, non-convertible, investment grade, domestic corporate debt. It also includes Yankee bonds, which are dollar-denominated, SEC- registered public, non-convertible debt issued or guaranteed by foreign sovereign governments, municipalities, governmental agencies, and international agencies.

Expense Example

Investment Grade Income Portfolio

   As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Each example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2004, and held through December 31, 2004.

Actual Expenses

   The first line for each class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

   The second line for each class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the relevant class’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the class’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples for the relevant class that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

		Beginning		Ending		Expenses PaidA
		Account		Account		During the		Annualized
		Value		Value		Period 7/1/04 to		Expense
		7/1/04		12/31/04		12/31/04		Ratio
Primary Class:
	Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,067.70	$	5.21		1.00%
	Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		1,000.00		1,020.16		5.09
Institutional Class:
	Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,071.60	$	2.45		0.47%
	Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		1,000.00		1,022.84		2.40

^A These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (184), and divided by 365.

Annual Report to Shareholders

Performance Information

Investment Grade Income Portfolio

   The following graphs compare the Fund’s total returns against that of a closely matched broad-based securities market index. The graphs illustrate the cumulative total return of an initial $10,000 investment in Primary Class shares and an initial $1,000,000 investment in Institutional Class shares of the Fund, for the periods indicated. The lines for the Fund represent the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The line representing the securities market index does not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other administrative expenses. Both the Fund’s results and the index’s results assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

   Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in a fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were reinvested at the time they were paid. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results. No adjustment has been made for any income taxes payable by shareholders.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information please visit www.leggmasonfunds.com. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.

   Stronger-than-expected economic activity, higher-than-expected inflation, and a moderate tightening of monetary policy drove short- and intermediate-term yields substantially higher this past year, while bond yields were steady to somewhat lower. The yield curve flattened significantly in the process. Considering that both core and headline consumer price inflation rates roughly doubled from the levels of 2003, and the economy enjoyed a second year of above-trend growth, the bond market’s stability in the face of these pressures was remarkable. Non-U.S. fixed-income markets generally performed better and with substantially less volatility, thanks to slower growth and subdued inflation. Japanese rates were relatively stable, and deflationary pressures eased. The Bank of England raised its target rate four times during the period, while the European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained on hold. Monetary conditions in the U.K. are now tight enough to have inverted both the nominal

and real yield curves. Bolstered by a stronger economy and generally accommodative monetary policies, investment grade spreads tightened, with spreads on lower-quality issuers and emerging market bonds narrowing significantly as yield-starved investors found them increasingly attractive against a backdrop of excellent economic and policy fundamentals. Despite higher short-term yields and a flatter curve, spreads on mortgage-backed issues tightened, and the mortgage-backed security sector delivered good risk-adjusted performance overall. U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) enjoyed strong performance as real yields declined relative to nominal yields, and inflation proved to be higher than expected.

   The Limited Duration Bond Portfolio was challenged by this environment, but investment strategies were generally rewarded as the total returns (appreciation or depreciation in the Fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions) of each share class exceeded the performance of its benchmark. For the calendar year, the Primary Class of the Fund returned 1.89%, versus the benchmark return of 0.91%. The Fund’s neutral to underweight duration posture for most of the period contributed to returns as interest rates rose, and the Fund’s barbelled exposure to maturities was rewarded by a flatter yield curve. Overweight exposure to mortgage-backed securities also contributed to performance, as spreads tightened and the sector delivered excess returns relative to Treasuries.

Expense Example

Limited Duration Bond Portfolio

   As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Each example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2004, and held through December 31, 2004.

Actual Expenses

   The first line for each class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

   The second line for each class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the relevant class’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the class’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples for the relevant class that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

		Beginning		Ending		Expenses PaidA
		Account		Account		During the		Annualized
		Value		Value		Period		Expense
		7/1/04		12/31/04		7/1/04 to 12/31/04		Ratio
Primary Class:
	Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,023.90	$	5.10		1.00%
	Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		1,000.00		1,020.16		5.09
Institutional Class:
	Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,027.60	$	2.45		0.48%
	Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		1,000.00		1,022.79		2.45

^A These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (184), and divided by 365.

Performance Information

Limited Duration Bond Portfolio (formerly U.S. Government Intermediate-Term Portfolio)

   The following graphs compare the Fund’s total returns against those of closely matched broad-based securities market indices. The lines illustrate the cumulative total return of an initial $10,000 investment in Primary Class shares and an initial $1,000,000 investment in Institutional Class shares of the Fund, for the periods indicated. The lines for the Fund represent the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The lines representing each securities market index do not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other administrative expenses.

   Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in a fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were reinvested at the time they were paid. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results. No adjustment has been made for any income taxes payable by shareholders.

   Effective June 30, 2004, Limited Duration changed its comparative index from the Lehman Intermediate Government Bond Index to the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index, because the new index is more representative of the types of securities in which the Fund invests.

   Prior to August 31, 2004, the Fund was known as the Legg Mason U.S. Government Intermediate-Term Portfolio and followed a policy of investing at least 80% of its assets in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or repurchase agreements secured by such investments, with a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity between three and ten years. The fund’s performance prior to such change might have been better or worse had the fund been managed in accordance with its current objective, policies and strategies.

Annual Report to Shareholders

Expense Example

U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio

   As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Each example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2004, and held through December 31, 2004.

Actual Expenses

   The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for the Fund. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

   The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

	Beginning		Ending		Expenses PaidA
	Account		Account		During the		Annualized
	Value		Value		Period		Expense
	7/1/04		12/31/04		7/1/04 to 12/31/04		Ratio
Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,004.80	$	3.61		.71%
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		1,000.00	$	1,021.61	$	3.64

^A These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (184), and divided by 365.

Legg Mason Income Trust, Inc.

(Amounts in Thousands)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

   The Legg Mason Income Trust, Inc. (“Corporation”), consisting of the Core Bond Fund (“Core Bond”), the High Yield Portfolio (“High Yield”), the Investment Grade Income Portfolio (“Investment Grade”), the Limited Duration Bond Portfolio (“Limited Duration”, formerly the U.S. Government Intermediate Portfolio), and the U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio (“Government Money Market”) (each a “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end, diversified investment company.

   The High Yield, Investment Grade and Limited Duration Portfolios consist of two classes of shares: Primary Class and Institutional Class. The income and expenses of each of these Funds are allocated proportionately to the two classes of shares based on daily net assets, except for Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, which are charged only on Primary Class shares, and transfer agent and shareholder servicing expenses, which are determined separately for each class.

   Preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:

Security Valuation

   Securities owned by Core Bond, High Yield, Investment Grade and Limited Duration for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Board of Directors or the Funds’ Valuation Committee pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. In determining fair value, the Board of Directors or the Funds’ Valuation Committee considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative factors available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market of the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

109

Annual Report to Shareholders

   With respect to High Yield, where a security is traded on more than one market, which may include foreign markets, the securities are generally valued on the market considered by the Fund’s adviser to be the primary market. The Fund will value its foreign securities in U.S. dollars on the basis of the then-prevailing exchange rates. Assets and liabilities initially expressed in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates determined prior to the close of trading on the Exchange, usually at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing market rates on the dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in non-U.S. currency exchange rates on investment securities and other assets and liabilities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

   In accordance with Rule 2a-7, the investments of Government Money Market are valued on the basis of amortized cost, so long as the Fund’s Board of Directors determines that this method constitutes fair value. Under this method, securities are valued at cost when purchased and, thereafter, a constant proportionate accretion or amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security.

Security Transactions

   Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on an identified cost basis for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.

   For the year ended December 31, 2004, investment transactions (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

	Purchases				Proceeds From Sales
	U.S. Gov’t.				U.S. Gov’t.
	Securities		Other		Securities		Other
Core Bond	$	114,405	$	21,636	$	80,293	$	13,735

Repurchase Agreements

   The Funds may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and a fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during a fund’s holding period. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the fund’s holding period. The value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. In the event of counterparty default, a fund has the right to use the collateral to satisfy the terms of the repurchase agreement. However, there could be potential loss to the fund in the event the fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the collateral securities during the period in which the fund seeks to assert its rights. The Funds’ investment adviser reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

Investment Income and Distributions to Shareholders

   Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are allocated at the class level and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for each Fund except High Yield, which declares and pays dividends monthly. Net capital gain distributions, which are calculated at the Fund level, are declared and paid after the end of the tax year in which the gain is realized. An additional distribution may be made in December, to the extent necessary in order to comply with federal excise tax regulations. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under federal income tax regulations. At December 31, 2004, accrued dividends payable were as follows: Core Bond, $5; High Yield, $150; Investment Grade, $82; Limited Duration, $38; and Government Money Market, $5. There were no capital gain distributions payable at December 31, 2004.

Compensating Balance Credits

   The Funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank, whereby a portion of the custodian’s fee is paid indirectly by credits earned on each Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. This deposit arrangement is an alternative to purchasing overnight investments. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the following compensating balance credits were earned: Core Bond, $1; High Yield, $4; Investment Grade, $2; Limited Duration, $1 and Government Money Market, $4.

111

Annual Report to Shareholders

Other

   In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent upon claims that may be made against the Funds in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

2. Federal Income Taxes:

   No provision for federal income or excise taxes is required since each Fund intends to qualify or to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute substantially all of its taxable income and capital gain to its shareholders. Because federal income tax regulations differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, income and capital gain distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

   Distributions during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, were characterized as follows for tax purposes:

	Core Bond		High Yield				Investment Grade
	2004		2004		2003		2004		2003
Ordinary income	$	1,183	$	14,760	$	15,274	$	19,210	$	18,284
Long-term capital gains		—		—		—		8,438		2,806
Total distributions	$	1,183	$	14,760	$	15,274	$	27,648	$	21,090

					Government

	2004		2003		2004		2003
Ordinary income	$	11,006	$	9,791	$	2,864	$	2,633
Long-term capital gains		—		—		—		—
Total distributions	$	11,006	$	9,791	$	2,864	$	2,633

   Pursuant to federal income tax regulations applicable to investment companies, the Funds have elected to treat net capital losses realized between November 1 and December 31 of each year (“post-October loss”) as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the year ended December 31, 2004, realized capital losses reflected in the accompanying financial statements, as shown in the table on the next page, will not be recognized for federal income tax purposes until 2005.

   The Funds intend to retain realized capital gains that may be offset against available capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. At December 31, 2004, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards as follows:

				Limited			Government
Expiration Date	High Yield			Duration			Money Market
2008	$	(35,788	)	$	(3,834	)		—

   For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts and distributions to shareholders are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications, which relate primarily to reclassifications of gains/losses on paydown securities and swap securities. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

   At December 31, 2004, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $62,021 for Core Bond, $201,566 for High Yield, $391,540 for Investment Grade, $290,308 for Limited Duration, and $382,987 for Government Money Market.

3. Financial Instruments:

Options and Futures

   As part of their investment programs, Core Bond, High Yield, Investment Grade and Limited Duration may utilize options and futures. Options may be written (sold) or purchased by these Funds. When a Fund purchases a put or call option, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and its value is marked-to-market daily. When a Fund writes a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and its value is marked-to-market daily.

   When options, whether written or purchased, expire, are exercised or are closed (by entering into a closing purchase or sale transaction), the Fund realizes a gain or loss as described in the chart below:

Purchased option:	Impact on the Fund:
The option expires	Realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option.
The option is closed through a closing sale transaction	Realize a gain or loss depending on whether the proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option.
The Fund exercises a call option	The cost of the security purchased through the exercise of the option will be increased by the premium originally paid to purchase the option.
The Fund exercises a put option	Realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security. The proceeds of that sale will be reduced by the premium originally paid to purchase the put option.

114

Annual Report to Shareholders

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued

Legg Mason Income Trust, Inc. — Continued

Written option:	Impact on the Fund:
The option expires	Realize a gain equal to the amount of the premium received.
The option is closed through a closing purchase transaction	Realize a gain or loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security and eliminate the option liability. The Fund will realize a loss in this transaction if the cost of the closing purchase exceeds the premium received when the option was written.
A written call option is exercised by the option purchaser	Realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security. The proceeds of that sale will be increased by the premium originally received when the option was written.
A written put option is exercised by the option purchaser	The amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security that the Fund purchased when the option was exercised.

   The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. Options written by a Fund involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the option value reflected in the statement of net assets. The risk in writing a covered call option is that a Fund may forgo the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, there is the risk a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market or, for over-the-counter options, because of the counterparty’s inability to perform.

   Activity in written call and put options during the year ended December 31, 2004, was as follows:

Core Bond:

	Calls						Puts
	Actual						Actual
	Contracts			Premiums			Contracts			Premiums
Options written		282		$	217			293		$	185
Options closed		(151	)		(120	)		(42	)		(24	)
Options expired		(55	)		(40	)		(146	)		(64	)
Options exercised		—			—			—			—
Options outstanding, December 31, 2004		76		$	57			105		$	97

115

Annual Report to Shareholders

   Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker cash or cash equivalents in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. The daily changes in contract value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses and the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

   The Funds enter into futures contracts as a hedge against anticipated changes in interest rates. There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts as a hedging device. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the amounts reflected in the financial statements. The change in the value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the change in the value of the hedged instruments. In addition, there is the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

   The open futures positions and related appreciation or depreciation at December 31, 2004, for Core Bond, Investment Grade, and Limited Duration are listed at the end of each Fund’s portfolio of investments.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts

   As part of its investment program, High Yield may utilize forward currency exchange contracts. The nature and risks of these financial instruments and the reasons for using them are set forth more fully in the Corporation’s prospectus and statement of additional information.

   Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily using forward foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service. The change in a contract’s market value is recorded by High Yield as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed or delivery is taken, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

   The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund’s securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. These forward foreign currency contracts involve market risk in excess of amounts reflected in the financial statements. Although forward foreign currency contracts used for hedging purposes limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s adviser will enter into forward foreign currency contracts only with parties approved by the Board of Directors

116

Annual Report to Shareholders

Legg Mason Income Trust, Inc. — Continued

because there is a risk of loss to the Fund if the counterparties do not complete the transaction.

   At December 31, 2004, High Yield had no open forward currency exchange contracts.

Swap Agreements

   The use of swaps involves risks that are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. Swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid. Although a Fund will not enter into any swap agreement unless the adviser believes that the other party to the transaction is creditworthy, a Fund does bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the agreement counterparty. The nature and risks of these financial instruments and the reasons for using them are set forth more fully in the Corporation’s prospectus and statement of additional information.

   The Funds may invest in different types of swap agreements. Credit default swap contracts represent the exchange of commitments to provide a level of credit protection for a commitment to receive interest at a fixed rate based on the potential risk of default of the relevant underlying issuer (the relevant underlying issuer for credit default swap contracts is listed in a parenthetical reference following the agreement counterparty). Interest rate swap contracts involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional principal amount. Total return swap contracts involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on the total return of an index over a specified period.

   At December 31, 2004, there were no swap contracts outstanding.

4. Transactions With Affiliates:

   Each Fund has a management agreement with Legg Mason Fund Adviser, Inc. (“LMFA”). Pursuant to their respective agreements, LMFA provides the Funds with management and administrative services for which each Fund pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at annual rates of each Fund’s average daily net assets. LMFA has voluntarily agreed to waive its fees to the extent each Fund’s expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) exceed during any month certain annual rates. These voluntary expense limitations for Core Bond, Investment Grade and Limited Duration are due to expire on April 30, 2005. High Yield and Government Money Market

   Western Asset Management Company (“Adviser”) serves as investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser is responsible for the actual investment activity of each Fund. LMFA pays the Adviser a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 40% of the management fee received by LMFA for Core Bond; 77% of the management fee received by LMFA for High Yield; 40% of the management fee received for Investment Grade; and 30% for Government Money Market. For Limited Duration, LMFA pays the Adviser a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.20% of its average daily net assets, not to exceed the fee received by LMFA.

^B Government Money Market’s management fee varies with the level of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The management fee is calculated as follows:

Average Net Assets	Advisory Fee Rate
$0 – $500 million		0.50%
next $500 million		0.475%
next $500 million		0.45%
next $500 million		0.425%
thereafter		0.40%

   Legg Mason Wood Walker, Incorporated (“Legg Mason”), a member of the New York Stock Exchange, serves as distributor of the Funds. Legg Mason receives an annual distribution fee and an annual service fee based on each Fund’s Primary Class’s average daily net assets, computed daily and payable monthly as shown in the table below. For the period from its inception (February 27, 2004) to December 31, 2004, Legg Mason waived $85 of Core Bond’s distribution and service fees.

   LM Fund Services, Inc. (“LMFS”), a registered transfer agent, has an agreement with the Funds’ transfer agent to assist it with some of its duties. For this assistance, the transfer agent paid LMFS the following amounts for the period ended December 31, 2004: Core Bond, $8; High Yield, $59; Investment Grade, $81; Limited Duration, $56; and Government Money Market, $91.

   LMFA, the Adviser, Legg Mason and LMFS are corporate affiliates and wholly owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason, Inc.

5. Line of Credit:

   The Funds, excluding Government Money Market, but including certain other Legg Mason Funds, participate in a $400 million line of credit (“Credit Agreement”) to be used for temporary or emergency purposes. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each participating Fund is liable only for principal and interest payments related to borrowings made by that Fund. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the federal funds rate plus the federal funds rate margin. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Funds had no borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Annual Report to Shareholders

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders of Core Bond Fund, High Yield Portfolio, Investment Grade Income Portfolio, Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, and U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, and to the Directors of Legg Mason Income Trust, Inc.:

   In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities for Core Bond Fund, High Yield Portfolio, Investment Grade Income Portfolio, and Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments, and the statement of net assets for U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Core Bond Fund, High Yield Portfolio, Investment Grade Income Portfolio, Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, and U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio (comprising Legg Mason Income Trust, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at December 31, 2004, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the fiscal periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio Legg Mason, Inc., based in Baltimore, Maryland, has built its reputation, at least in part, on the success of the Legg Mason Funds, introduced in 1979. The primary purpose of our funds is to enable investors to diversify their portfolios across various asset classes and, consequently, enjoy the stability and growth prospects generally associated with diversification.

The success of our funds is contingent on the experience, discipline, and acumen of our fund managers. We believe the quality of our managers is crucial to investment success. Unlike many firms, which focus on a particular asset class or the fluctuations of the market, at Legg Mason we focus on providing a collection of top-notch managers in all the major asset classes.

Information about the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to its portfolio securities is contained in the Statement of Additional Information, available without charge upon request by calling 1-800-822-5544 or on the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) website (http://www.sec.gov). Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30 is also available on the SEC’s website or through the Fund’s website at www.leggmasonfunds.com/aboutlmf.

The Fund files a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website or may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information about the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

Item 2 — Code of Ethics Applicable to Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer

(a)   Legg Mason Income Trust, Inc. (“Registrant”) has adopted a Code of Ethics, as defined in the instructions to Form N-CSR that applies to the Registrant’s President and Treasurer, which is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

•   Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

•   Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents the Registrant files with, or submits to, the SEC or in other public communications made by the Registrant;

•   Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

•   Prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Ethics; and

•   Accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics.

(c)   On August 12, 2004, the Registrant’s Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Financial Officers was amended. The amended Code is set forth as an exhibit to this filing. A brief description of the amendment is set forth below:

•   The fifth bullet point of Section IV has been revised to clarify that it applies to employment positions.

•   The sixth bullet point of Section IV has been revised to require that Covered Persons report any employment positions they (or a member of their immediate family) hold with a service provider to a fund.

•   Footnote one to the third bullet in Section II has been added. That third bullet of Section II states that a Covered Officer should confer with the Chief Legal Officer if the Covered Officer will serve as director of any public company. There is an exception to the requirement to confer with the Chief Legal Officer if the directorship is of the Legg Mason Funds or their investment advisers or any affiliated person thereof. Footnote one clarifies that the exception does not apply to a company that is affiliated with a fund because the fund owns 5% of the company’s stock, or because the company owns more than 5% of the fund’s stock and the company is not part of the Legg Mason complex.

(d)	The Registrant has not granted a waiver, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of the code of ethics to the Registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions during the period covered by this report.
