Best Answer

That depends on the type of income involved. If the return is for income the person earned during the year in which he/she died then a standard 1040 is filed by the executor. Typically the word "Deceased" is simply written on the top with a plain copy of the death certificate included. After a person dies, his/her estate becomes a new taxpayer with a new tax I.D. number issued by the IRS. The social security number of a decedent is not usable to report income earned by an estate after death. For this income, use a 1041. This answer is given for informational purposes only and not as legal advice, however I believe it is accurate.

Can you file a 1041 for a fiscal year?

You can't file a 1041 form in place of your personal return which must be filed on one of the versions of the 1040 form. A 1041 form is for Trusts and Estates only and is required to be filed for these types of entities. It is not made for the filing of personal income taxes. Individuals must also file on a calendar year basis and not on a fiscal year. Only certain types of entities can elect fiscal year terms.

What tax forms need to be filed for an irrevocable trust?

Form 1041 is U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts. Trusts are required to file Form 1041 when (1) its income is at least $600, or (2) it has a nonresident alien as a beneficiary. But a trust classified as a grantor trust isn't required to file Form 1041 if the individual grantor reports all the grantor trust incomes/allowable expenses on his own Form 1040. For tax purposes, an irrevocable trust is treated as a simple, complex, or grantor trust according to the powers listed in establishing the trust.
