Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The Grantor Letter or Information Sheet is a transmittal document, copied to the IRS, showing you as a recipient of various forms of income, and possibly having certain deductible expenses.

Enter the information listed in the Grantor Letter in the places where you normally would, had you paid or received these items directly instead of through a trust.

 

You report each income and expense item as if you had received an equivalent 1099, using the name and EIN of the Trust as the payer.  So treat interest as if a 1099-INT, dividends as if a 1099-DIV, Gains and Losses as if a 1099-B, etc.
