Business Turbotax software for Trusts

[Gamze]

Hi, I need to complete a trust return for my 94 year old dad.  I am confused and can not find one single tax service in the Seattle area to help.  Is there anyone here able to help me with a very simple trust return.  Trust has a paid off home and a savings account and that's all.

I've been calling Intuit customer service line all day and there is something wrong with it.

Hello, yes there is a EIN number.

I looked at that directory and the person on there has a link.  It doesn't work.  I wouldn't mind doing a video call but not sure how.  I'd even pay someone but can't find anyone.  I did it with the help of a fellow who sold me a membership to his financial club.  It was supposed to be a lifetime membership but when last April came around, he was on vacation and told me to file an extention.  I did.  Now, in October he wants $200/hour to help me again.  No membership I guess :(

I already bought the Business turbotax for Trusts.  I just got confused at some point.  I thought there was a way to do your taxes alongside turbotax live help.  They take over your computer I think?

I called several today and none of the want to help with turbotax return.  They just want to do a return.  I have already done the return, felt unsure, filed an extension and thought October 15th was deadline.  Found out today that I'm late. I did send a bunch of money at extension so maybe my dad won't get in trouble.  I'm so frustrated.

I apologize for the delay.  I had to refresh my page to see that you replied.

No, it has existed for several years.

It was done by a CPA for my dad and I found out that his fee was equivalent to almost 2 months of his income for the year so I did it in 2022 with the help of that fellow I mentioned.

I don't know what a grantor trust is but dad's is a revokable trust.  He is the trustee and I think I am once he passes :(

I looked at the returns the CPA had done and there were so so so many pages, charts, schedules that I think I did dad's wrong.  I got scared and stopped.

I went back on Turbotax today to finish and it is looking like I am finished.  I guess maybe it looks like that because I filed an extention?  I don't know.    

In a nutshell he has a paid off house and a savings account he put into the trust.  Last year I was able to get him 4.62% on his savings and he made some interest income.  On December 31st, I paid him from the trust all of the interest amount and filed his SR1040 with a K?
