Summary
When taxpayers pass away, their assets become part of their estate. Very often, those assets generate income that requires reporting on the estate’s Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts. In the second part of our two-part series, we’ll discuss the difference between estate income and estate principal or corpus, making the §645 election to treat the decedent’s trust as part of their estate, and making income distributions and principal to the beneficiaries. We’ll also cover preparing Form 1041 and the beneficiary’s Schedule K-1, Beneficiary’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., and wrap up with closing the decedent’s estate.
This webinar builds on concepts discussed in part one, which covers filing a taxpayer’s final Form 1040.
