a revocable trust would be a grantor trust. they are supposed to issue grantor trust letters and not a k-1s. the front of the 1041 would have a block saying it's a grantortrust so it's possible the 1041 was prepared improperly. a grantor trust letter merely repeats each item of income and deductions reported. and the grantor enters them the same way in their 1040. for example, if the trust got 6 - 1099-int from different banks the letter would report interest from 6 banks and the grantor would have to enter the 6 banks and the amounts for each in their 1040
as a matter of fact, if the trust is using your SSN for purposes of tax reporting forms, the filing of the grantor trust may not be necessary. everything would get reported on your 1040 as if the trust does not exist
