Preparing an Accurate Form 1041

With more individuals using trusts in estate planning, knowing how to prepare an accurate Form 1041 is becoming more important than ever.

Many preparers of Form 1041s do not understand the differences between the types of trusts for which they are preparing the tax return and the differences in reporting for each various type of trust, or they may not understand the various rules related to reporting for estates. In addition, many are unaware of the different elections that may be available to the taxpayer. This topic will teach you how to prepare Form 1041s for Estates and Trusts accurately. The material also explains the often-misunderstood concepts of Income in Respect of Decedent (IRD) and Distributable Net Income (DNI).
