CA Form 593 and 592

[gknv33]

Can someone assist with the following California trust withholding issue?

My client is the sole trustee and sole beneficiary of a nongrantor trust filing its first and final Form 541. The trust sold the decedent’s residence, and the escrow company incorrectly withheld California real estate withholding at 3 1/3% and remitted it to the FTB.

All trust funds have already been distributed, so I am trying to pass the withholding through to the beneficiary to claim on his individual California return.

I completed Form 593 in ProSeries Professional, but I cannot figure out how to properly prepare Form 592 so the FTB recognizes that the beneficiary — not the trust — is claiming the withholding credit.

Currently, the trust return is showing a California refund equal to the withholding amount, which I know is incorrect if the credit is being allocated out to the beneficiary.

Has anyone dealt with this situation in ProSeries or otherwise? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ive never been able to get that to work right for me, I just have it refunded to the trust then distribute it to the beneficiary.
