for one thing, if he extended the trust return he has until 9/15/2023 to put in the mail any k-1 issued by the trust. we can't see the return so don't know what he did. the taxes seem high but again we can't see the returns. as Trustee he had 2 choices. One. pay the taxes on the income at the trust level and distribute the remaining proceeds to the beneficiaries tax free - there would be no tax reporting for the beneficiaries. Two. distribute the income to the beneficiaries via a K-1 and let them pay the tax. It is possible he allocated all the income to himself so you would receive no k-1 but the propriety of that is an open question. It could be an issue for you. Calling the IRS/CA or an attachment would probably be a waste of time and would not protect you. if you want to rest easy spend the money on a lawyer.
