IRS Tax Form 1041

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.
