I am filing a simple trusts return for the first time. The trust distributed all income and that is all accounted for. However, $300 exemption on line 21 is causing line 23 to be a negative (-$300). My understanding is that line 23 can not be a negative, due to the exemption (if everything is distributed, then it should be $0). So do I manually go in and change this to $0. Why would the software not handle that, I don't like manually changing numbers, as it could have implications I am not aware of.
Thanks in advance,
VRH
