Grantor trust questions

JML222
Level 4

Not being too familiar with 1041's, really appreciate this forum.

I have a Grantor trust where the income passes through to the Grantor, included on Grantors Sched D,. Thus showing no income for the trust. My question is this, how do I account for bond and accounting expenses related to the trust?  Using Basic and fillable 1041 PDF.

TIA.

The bond and accounting fees are not deductible. They were misc itemized deductions subject to the 2% of AGI rule, but currently not allowed.

The more I know, the more I don't know.

In my opinion.. If you have the K-1 or Grantor Letter from the Trust... Just enter as a K-1 and it should flow to the proper areas.

Thanks for the insight!

The only place I see that would make sense on a K1 entry would require checking Final Year Deductions. Which is not accurate. Hmmm.

I would have to look later ( I am currently at work) ... Why would it be final year deductions...   Is the K-1 Final ?

K-1 is not final hence inappropriate to use that as an entry field.

Thank you!
