Do beneficiaries of irrevocable trusts that receive distributions need to report the distributions, or just the interest it earned for them after the distribution?

I am a beneficiary of an irrevocable trust, and I received distributions, but the trustee did not issue a K-1 to me.  I've kept this money in my savings account, earning interest.  The interest earned is reflected in the 1099-INT my bank issued to me.  Do I need to do anything in my taxes to report receiving principal from this trust?  Is it sufficient to just report the interest i've earned with it by entering my 1099-INT info in my tax return?
