The 2020 version of TurboTax Business, obviously, contains the 2020 version of Form 1041.
You can use the 2020 version of Form 1041 for a tax year beginning in 2021 if:
-
The estate or trust has a tax year of less than 12 months that begins and ends in 2021, and
-
The 2021 Form 1041 isn't available by the time the estate or trust is required to file its tax return. However, the estate or trust must show its 2021 tax year on the 2020 Form 1041 and incorporate any tax law changes that are effective for tax years beginning after 2020.
In short, you can use the 2020 version of TurboTax Business but you will essentially have to print and mail the return, the reason being you will have to make manual entries on the forms and schedules, primarily to change the dates.
