Question

DO you have to file a 1041 if the only income was the home sale at a loss?

I have 2 customers that have their decedents trust  to finalize. 

1099-S for home sale on one has no income on the  Proceeds box.   

Other was not issued, just escrow papers. 

No other income.

Is there a reason to file the 1041 in these circumstances?  loss not allowed for the beneficiaries.

 

thank you

"1099-S for home sale on one has no income on the  Proceeds box. "  That's weird

"Other was not issued, just escrow papers."  I wouldn't be so sure it wasn't issued.

"loss not allowed for the beneficiaries."  Why not?

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

If youve got escrow papers, whos name was it sold in?  That person didnt get a 1099S? Id venture to guess a 1099S was issued to someone showing the gross proceeds, they may just not have brought it to you..
