State tax filing

I'm sure that you're aware that creating a trust is one thing, and transferring assets to the trust is a totally different thing. I point this out because I've known people who have created a trust, yet have put nothing in it and the problem it creates does not come to light until they die, and their will leaves everything in the trust to the heirs. With nothing in the trust, the heirs get exactly that..........nothing.

I do note that you indicate that you have "IN FACT" transferred property to the trust, such as your house. (Meaning that the trust is listed as the owner of the property on the deed). The trust will need to file it's own separate tax return. For that, you will need TurboTax Business (different from Home and Business). I *H*I*G*H*L*Y suggest you consult with a tax professional in your local jurisdiction for the first year dealing with this. Especially if your state taxes personal income. Otherwise, if this is done incorrectly, you will leave your heirs in a never ending highly expensive nightmare from which they will NEVER awaken.
