After my father passed away a total death benefit/survivor annuity check was sent to me, instead of being divided and sent to myself and two brothers. Federal taxes were already removed, I distributed this money equally between myself and two brothers, but now I have the total amount added to my taxable income due to the 1099-R filing with the IRS, and as a result now have a big tax bill. The accountant who filed the Trust return for my family included the total death benefit distribution in the 2022 family Trust tax return and advised me to report the total on my personal tax return, but then deduct the same amount since it was included on the Trust tax return. I added the 1099-R information in my personal Turbotax tax return, but do not see where I can deduct out or adjust the total.
