1041 Living Trust Tax Return

Working on my first Trust tax return. It has two beneficiaries( Co-Trustees), I assume I am creating two K-1's, which I have done. I can not seem to find the area to put in the 50/50 percentage. In the trust there will be some interest income, dividend income and a home. Where do I enter the Home that was left to the estate.

 

Thank you

Home has not sold. DOD was 2023 and it is just now being listed. I thought I would put the home in as an asset for expense purposes????


I "think" you can still deduct the real estate taxes being paid on the house before it sells (on the front page of the 1041 in that smart worksheet where you can deduct the accounting/atty fees)

I "think" everything else gets added to basis for when its sold.

If the home was sold, I just enter directly on the Sch D, like a stock sale.

Is this a trust or estate  return?

"my first Trust tax return"

"Where do I enter the Home that was left to the estate"

The house is an asset, a Balance Sheet item. 1041 tax Sofware does not provide for a Balance Sheet/full accounting for estates and trusts.

Was it a Joint Living Trust? Are both Grantors/Beneficiaries still alive?

The more I know the more I don’t know.

1041, Living Trust.

Yes, both Beneficiaries are still alive.

Mother died 7/5/2023 and the two siblings are the beneficiaries in the Living Trust paperwork.

We set up an EIN for the Trust and it does have interest income and Dividend income. I was thinking the home (that neither siblings wants) would be an Asset on the return until it sells.

I'm glad I found this post. I hope someone can help me too. I too am about to do my first trust return. Can someone tell me what all I need from the client to prepare the return? I know I'll need any income, assets etc., but do they provide a copy of the trust document with that information as well as other paperwork? All replies appreciated.
