i have seen two schools of thought on entering grantor trust info. 1) through a trust k-1 but you have no EIN and Turbotax won't allow this. entering a dummy ein would result in it appearing on schedule E page 2 with no amount unless there are business items reported
the other option is to pretend you got a 1099 for each line item. use of a dummy EIN (may be needed depending on the version of Turbotax you're using) but it doesn't show up in the return.
the accounting firms I worked for always used option 2 even when there was an EIN.
