3. It's a complex trust. Any trust that is not a simple trust is a complex trust. A simple trust can't distribute corpus.
4. It's the date the trust became irrevocable....before then it was a disregarded entity.
5. None of those expenses are deductible thanks to the TCJA and Sec 67(e)
6 & 7. Not sure how TT handles this.....you may have to use forms view and enter on the worksheets or whatever but you can ignore distributions of principal.
