Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I did finally find the small question that clarifies 100% going to beneficiary.  I now have a question about showing a loss on line 23.   It really isn't a loss, because it is the final return for this trust with the balance being held going to the beneficiary.  I find it odd that this amount is showing up as income (or a loss) since it has been held in trust for 20 years.  The only part that is income is the capital gains/losses on the initial investment.

 

The distribution is showing up on K-1 as Net short-term capital gain which is not accurate.  Did I do something wrong?

 

Anyway, I don't care that it shows a loss.  As I said, it is the final return for this trust.  I only care that the IRS accept it and that it is done correctly.
