I received a K-1 from my Dad’s Trust after I submitted my tax return for this year. The Trust was managed on a fiscal year basis ending on January 31, 2021. The K-1 indicates 2020. Am I obligated to report that on this year’s (2020) tax return? Or can it wait until next year’s return?

Thanks,

Rick

You would report the 2020 K-1 you received on your 2020 return.

Save a copy of your filed return and prepare an amended return after you receive your refund (or your balance due payment has cleared).

Does the K-1 show an ending date of January 31, 2021? If so, you report the information from that K-1 on your 2021 income tax return.

You cannot break up the fiscal year K-1 into 2 calendar year tax returns of a beneficiary.

Pass-through entities—fiscal year. Income, loss or deductions passed through to partners, S corporation shareholders, and estate beneficiaries are reported by recipients in the year in which the entity’s tax year ends.
