Thanks for the reply and for the assistance. The trust is under my husband's SSN, and my understanding is that I will need to establish an EIN for that trust after his passing. (there are no marital or other trusts involved.) But I assume I will need to file two tax returns, one for the trust and one for me personally (I am the trustee and principal beneficiary.) Or can they be consolidated under one return? I will definitely call upon a CPA when needed, but I appreciate all insights.
