Income Tax for Estates and Trusts–Form 1041
The estates and trusts course has been completely revamped. With the estate tax exemption so high now, there will be fewer Forms 706 filed. However, almost every client in our practice will require a Form 1041 at death. So, this year the emphasis is on that funny little tax return that no one wants to prepare. We will de-mystify Form 1041. Areas covered will be general probate and trust terminology, decedent’s final tax return and fiduciary accounting (principal vs. income). Form 1041 will be addressed in detail including, deductions, rental income, basis and capital gain issues as well income distribution deduction. Also covered will be 645 elections, terminations, and the impact of TCJA.
