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.
