I'm filing a First and FInal Federal Form 1041 for an Estate, with All Income being Distributed, so $0 Taxable Income and $0 Tax Due. But I still expected a prompt for the $600 Exemption, or to have TT fill it in. I added it manually through Forms, even though that just results in -600 as Taxable Income on Line 23, but I thought that was "correct." It seemed like an omission to leave off the exemption. But I saw a 2022 post from tagteam that the omission of the exemption actually might be the correct path when you have All Income Distributed? Is TurboTax simply not prompting for or filling in the $600 exemption b/c it is not necessary and accomplishes nothing in cases of total distribution, or is it actually incorrect to use it in this case? I am paper filing (b/c of required attached Statement) and printed it out WITH the $600 Exemption included. It makes no difference in the result, and TurboTax reviewed the return and said it was okay. I can't tell if this is necessary, unnecessary, or just plain incorrect. Please advise if this is incorrect, and I should change this and take off the Exemption before I mail in the return. Thank you!
