I set up a revocable trust for my children. I earned less than $400 dollars interest on the account. What version and form do I need to use in Turbo Tax?

What version and form do I need to use in Turbo Tax?

Since you are grantor, most likely the trustee, and the trust is revocable, the trust would be considered to be a grantor trust by the IRS. 

See https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/abusive-trust-tax-evasion-schemes-ques...

As a result, the income earned by the trust would be reported on your (the grantor's) individual income tax return (Form 1040).

[MinhT1]

Any income generated by a revocable trust is taxable to the trust's creator (who is often also referred to as a settlor, trustor, or grantor) during the trust creator's lifetime.

If you are the grantor, you include this interest income in your personal tax return.

As to the version of TurboTax that you need, it may depend on the other types of income and deductions that you have.

did the trust get an ein number and are the 1099's it receives under that EIN or the SSNs of the children

*

if income is over $600 and both conditions are met regarding the EIN a grantor trust - form 1041  must be filed.

that's Turbotax business only for windows desktop

Even if the trust has an EIN, an optional filing method can be used for a grantor trust, rather than filing a 1041.
