Question

Why is the 1041 program not allocating interest income to the K-1 beneficiaries properly?

Interest income for the trust is $134.  There are five beneficiaries each receiving 20%.  Per the Distributable Income for Schedules K-1 worksheet, the program is allocating professional fees to the interest income, the non-qualified dividends and the non-passive income.  It then allocates excess deductions (which is its share of the prior years' un-allowed losses from the investment in the PTP as the PTP was sold in 2022).

Total interest income of $134 less share of fees of $4 less share of allocable excess deductions of $29 results in total distributable interest income of $101 (line 13 column a of the Distributable Income for Schedule(s) K-1.

Line 14 - Amount distributed to beneficiaries is $946.  This does not compute.

Thank you for the help.

Is there an overall loss on Page 1 of the 1041? Line 17.

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

No, line 17 on page 1 is $26,618.  It is comprised of $134 interest income, $18,102 ordinary dividends, $7,309 of capital gain, allowable loss of $4,140 from PY suspended losses due to sale of PTP, $5,876 from 4797 gain (part II), less expenses of $663.

How are your tax return options set up?

Is tiered allocation selected?

Have you entered each beneficiary's percent to be distributed?

Is it a simple trust or complex trust?

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