Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, a simple trust follows three rules:

 

  • All the income must be distributed to the beneficiaries yearly.
  • The trust  mustn't payout any of its corpus (better known as principal), and 
  • The trust can't  make charitable contributions.

If you believe that your trust is a simple trust, you can make that change in TurboTax Business. Here's how to do that:

 

 

  1. Open your software and your return.
  2. Select the General Info tab, then About your Trust or Estate.
  3. Select Edit to the right of the trust's name. 
  4. You can change the type of trust on this page.
