@merlin00 - on the K-1, who is listed as the beneficiary in the lower left section (part II)? the trust or someone else?
which entity actually made the donations? the estate or the trust?
regardless of your responses, it appears that there is documentation that the income was generated from the IRA distributions and there is documentation of contributions that net out the income to zero.
What difference does it really make? The IRS isn't going to audit / fine / imprison you in a case where there is no tax due in any event. The tax payments would be correct even if for some crazy reason the reporting is not correct.
