How much? Just throw it on your personal and call it a day. Distribute as required and subtract the tax you might owe on the amount. Report it as Nominee Receipt (EIN of Estate)


Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

So why is a Trust account still open if it was "final" in 2021?


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

I kept the trust acct open in case any unexpected bills came up or tax payments due  (only 15K in acct) ...plan to close the acct after I settle this unexpected award settlement that I applied for....the settlement check (15K) was made out to the trust with trust ein....should I file 1041 again  and pay the taxes from the trust acct........I appreciate more specific instructions....I realize taxes need to be paid
