TRUST RETURN

Level 2

If the grantor dies, if he had a simple trust does it become a complex trust.  The assets have not been distributed.

It becomes irrevocable, if it wasn't already, upon the grantor's death.

Simple or complex depends on the terms of the trust.

The trust was set up as a simple trust.  If he passed away in 2020 how does the income pass thru to his personal return.  Does he have to file a 1040 even though he died in 2020.  I greatly appreciate your help regarding this matter.

The income earned up until the date of death goes on a 1040.  Income earned after that date goes on a 1041.
