Give each beneficiary a Schedule K-1 (Form 1041), "Beneficiary’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc."
- The K-1 reports the beneficiary’s distributive share of the estate or trust’s taxable income, deductions, credits and other items needed to prepare the beneficiary’s own return.
- Furnish a K-1 to every beneficiary who is allocated items on the Form 1041 (you may also provide a zero K-1 for informational purposes).
- Provide the K-1 to beneficiaries at the time you file the Form 1041 (the Form 1041 due date, or when you file with an extension). Failure to furnish correct K-1s can trigger IRS penalties.
