I need to prepare one family related trust return this year. I am a CPA and have prepared other types of returns including s-corps so I'm familiar with the process. I'm tempted to switch to TurboTax and use their business package which includes the 1041 (I had been using another software package for 1040). Does anyone have any other recommendations for filing just one 1041 trust return? thanks
It hardly seems worth the approximate $100 cost to purchase TurboTax for Business to prepare just one trust return, especially if you are competent at preparing the return yourself. Fill in (on your computer) forms 1041 and related schedules are available for download from the IRS website. They are easy to use and can be printed and saved on your computer using the free Adobe Acrobat program. You do have to do your own math, however, and send them in via snail mail. KucaRiga
