I'm plugging in numbers from a trust Schedule K-1 (Boxes 1, 2a, 2b, 12A, 12B, 12J, 14E* and 14 I*) and have no idea what all of this means. I thought I could fill in the K-1 numbers, and the software would plug the numbers in where they're supposed to go. Now I am here instead. Looks like I may have to hand my taxes over to a CPA -- and all because of a K-1!
Hint: Why not include this explanation in a "Help" popup window? The whole idea of tax preparation software is to make it so people can complete their own taxes.
