Trust Tax Returns Required by the IRS
Although some trusts might save some money on taxes, they do NOT eliminate taxes. While individuals pay income tax on a form 1040, Trusts pay on form 1041 "Fiduciary Return."
After a grantor passes away, a taxable estate must file a form 706 which is a tax on the net assets of the estate. This is a very complicated tax return that most CPAs do NOT do, particularly on second to die situations.
