I very much appreciate the community being there to help us neophytes. Wrestling with the algorithms behind Turbotax business is exhausting. Because Turbotax does not recognize the ability of the trustee to make certain decisions such as allocating capital gains to the beneficiary and not needing to do accounting income, it is much simpler to just go back to the IRS forms and fill them in. As an example preventing the trustee from allocating $2100 in capital gains to the beneficiary per the trust document would have caused an $1800 tax bill for the trust if the capital gains had remained with the trust.
I did manage to complete two 1041s in Turbotax which somehow did not trigger the Turbotax meddling.
