I hope that I didn't mess up the entity type when applied for the EIN number. At the IRS website there was an option for estate and it asked for date of death. There was another option for trust and it asked for date trust was started. I selected estate and received the EIN number and the paperwork received with EIN number says "name of my mother and Estate." That is why I selected estate at first in TurboTax Business. The instructions on the paperwork received with the EIN says to use number and complete name exactly as shown on the form which has my mother's name and Estate. If you are sure that this is a complex trust and not an estate entity type could I use the estate name that the IRS has instead of the name of the trust so that the names match up. Or, should I call the IRS and let them know the name should be the trust name and not an estate name?
Thanks again!
