Retirement tax questions

Most welcome.  - Estate taxation - both just the 1041 annual filing, and the rare Form 706 and accompanying Gift 709 are complex and in many ways not comparable to your personal 1040.  For a reasonably simple and final 1041, if the asset data and distribution data are all presented to an accountant, the filing should be less than $1,000 even much less; but complex trusts run much higher.  

Given the complexity and the differences between initial and ongoing versus final year, I've tried to build these PDFs as pathfinders for those ambitious enough to do it themselves.
