I am filing taxes for my brother (herein referred to as my ward) who lives in another state. I am his court appointed guardian of the person and guardian of the estate. He has been receiving only SSI for his adult life, so he has never had to file taxes. This year he received a Schedule K -1 because of the portfolio income as beneficiary of an estate.
Several questions:
1. When I file taxes for my ward using my Turbo Tax, do I put his address and phone on the 1040?
2. Do I use the "in C/O option" to list my name as fiduciary?
3. How do I sign the tax form?
Thank you for your expert advice.
