I appreciate the direct approach. I have had everything done professionally to this point. I retained an attorney to file all of the required paperwork, obtained an EIN, and am moving to the last piece of the puzzle - the IRS. At this point I agree with you that I will need to hire a tax professional to finalize things. The frustrating part to me at this point is that Turbotax advertises its business software to be capable of completing trust and estate taxes. I chose them as my professional approach to completing the taxes. That seems to be far from the case. A lesson learned and it may make me think twice about using Turbotax in the future.
Thanks for your help!
