Subchapter J of the Internal Revenue Code governs income taxation of estates and trusts— an area of tax law with numerous special rules, regulations, and professional customs. Form 1041 is unlike any other income tax return a tax professional encounters. This program explains the unique tax rules and opportunities for the knowledgeable tax advisor to provide valuable tax services to fiduciaries— from special tax accounting to options for reporting trust income and expenses. The program will contain state-specific information on the state’s principal and income tax (including unique features of that Act) that is used to compute “accounting income” necessary for preparation of the Form 1041.
