If there is any exclusion to be had it would be at the trust level - depending on the type of trust and your client's rights with respect to the property. Since you have a trust K-1 with a taxable gain, it looks like your client pays tax on it.

K-1?

You seem to be asking about the personal residence exclusion. That's not a K-1 issue.

RAPID REPLY - K-1 SHOWS NET SALE PROFIT - HOW DO I SHOW ON 1040?

FULL AMOUNT? OR K-1 AMOUNT?

Rapid Reply? What's that?

This is a topic you started on the internet; it's a Discussion forum.

A 1040 is a personal tax return, which doesn't have a K-1.

A 1041, for an estate, would have beneficiaries. If the Estate sold the property, that is different than the Owner who lived there, selling it.

Really, more details would be helpful. Thanks.
