Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You'll receive a schedule K-1 that reports to you the income that you must include on your tax return.  If the Schedule K-1 that you eventually receive is for an estate or trust tax year ending in 2025, which seems likely since you have not yet received the distribution from the estate or trust, any taxable income from the estate or trust will be includible on your 2025 tax return, not on your 2024 tax return.  This seems to be what the trust manager and accountant are telling you.

 

The fact that you had to give your SSN to the accountant says nothing about which year income from the estate or trust will be taxable.

 

"I don’t have any money to pay anything"

You'll be able to pay taxes using the money that you receive from the estate or trust.  Once you know the amount you will be able to plan for that.
