complex trust final return

The trust has the cash and is going to pay the taxes and then distribute the remaining funds to the beneficiaries according to the trust doc percentages.  All the beneficiaries fight - so it was requested the trust takes care of all the taxes until the property is sold and the remainder gets distributed.  

Property sold in 2025. Long term capital gain of over 300k. Only thing left is money in the bank account.  Trustee was waiting to figure taxes to pay on 2025 return so that once those are paid the funds could be distributed.  If I don’t put in beneficiary info lacerte gives me an error message because it is a final return. When I put the beneficiaries into the return with their percentages lacerte applies the capital gain amount to the k-1s according to their percentages rather than calculating it to the trust.  If I don’t put in beneficiary info it calculates for the trust.  Thinking if I want the trust to pay the taxes I need to make the 2026 return final.  Hope this is clearer to understand!!  Any suggestions?? May go back to trustee and explain option of letting capital gains flow to beneficiaries.  Their distribution would be larger and they could pay taxes individually.  

@Drphibes  "pay the tax at the Trust level (probably way higher than at the beneficiary level, but hey)"

I always have to think that through, when as in this case most or all of the income is LTCG.  If the beneficiaries are in a lower bracket where they can absorb some tax-free and more at lower brackets, then IRS wins.  But in many cases, the beneficiaries pay on LTCG at the same rate as the trust, and the spike in income might disqualify them from other benefits or increase their Medicare premiums.  

This case, it sounds like some of the K-1s are being mailed to a trailer park, and the less money is distributed the less fentanyl might be crossing the border.
