I'm using Turbotax business to do an estate return and several trust returns, using the calendar year method. In the "General Info / About your trust or estate" section, I entered the date of creation, 2/17/2019 for example. I also select the box for "short tax year". But when I print the finished tax returns, I find that Turbotax has substituted 2/1/2019 at the top of the 1041. It looks like this:
"For calendar year 2019 or fiscal year beginning Feb 1, 2019 and ending Dec 31, 2019".
Why do they do this ? The trust wasn't even in existence until Feb 17th. Is it a bug ? Should I use Go To Forms and override it to 2/17/2019 ?
