Interesting!

Maybe someone else will chime in, but since a Schedule C is for self-employment, resulting in self-employment tax, it doesn't really work well for a trust.  I would keep that part on the person's personal return unless income is being reported specifically for trust property.  If the property is in the trust's name and is still being rented, I would move the rental income to a schedule E on the trust return.

I'm interested to hear other responses.  I understand that certain rental stuff (ie AirBnB) is usually on schedule C if it falls on a personal return.  I know I've read something in regard to its treatment within a trust, but I can't seem to pull out a proper reference!
