is this a simple trust which is required to distribute income. the distribution occurs even if no physical assets were sent to the beneficiaries.  also a trust that terminates is deemed to distribute everything.  a grantor trust is treated as a disregarded entity, so all income is distributed although generally a grantor letter rather than a k-1 is issued. 

Here's how you can enter the repayment in TurboTax Online. You cannot enter it in Free Edition. You have to use Deluxe or Premium. Read these instructions and the TurboTax screens carefully. There are several similar-sounding questions. Start off as if you were entering unemployment benefits that you received. Go to: Federal Wages & Income Unemployment Government benefits on Form 1099-G Unemployment and paid family leave Answer the questions as follows. Did you receive unemployment or paid family leave benefits? - No, I didn't. (If you did receive unemployment benefits in 2024, answer Yes. A few steps later you will enter the unemployment that you received before you get to the place where you enter the repayment.) Were you required to repay unemployment benefits (uncommon)? - Yes Did you pay back any government unemployment from 2023 or earlier? - No Did you pay back any non-government unemployment from 2023 or earlier? - Yes Click Continue. How much non-government unemployment did you repay? First, enter any benefits that you received in 2024 and repaid in 2024. - Leave this box blank. Next, enter benefits that you received in 2023 or earlier, and repaid in 2024. - Enter the amount that you repaid. The amount that you enter here will go to Schedule 1 line 24e. Click Done.  

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IRS/STATE     TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-audit/turbotax-audit-support/L6AcMoNFD_US_en_US?uid=m5z7by9u     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/got-cp2000-notice-irs/L7Da6em2t_US_en_US?uid=m4of6ngd

@fanfare:  lol (for that java part)   Do you understand what "embedding your own browser with your app" means? Yes, that is a single browser, and it runs almost everywhere without having to change a line of your code.   Reg nuances and list of browsers... well, that's why there are standards, but again that is irrelevant once you are embedding your own. 

@user17583998547 wrote:   Some sources say use the same depreciation as before with given up property  (let's say it was $5,000) for the remaining years (my case was 8 years remaining out of 27.5 years) plus new additional basis for 27.5 years.     In addition, I don't need to consider any building vs land ratio for the replacement property?   That is correct.  You continue to depreciation the original amount of the old property, using the original placed in service date (so you will get 8 more years).  As a second asset, you enter the 'extra' amount paid ($100,000), using the new placed in service date.   Land needs to be considered.  The two pieces that I mentioned are based on the building itself, after the cost of the land has been factored in.  

15 years.   The gain due to depreciation is based on the greater of (a) the actual depreciation that you took and (b) the amount of depreciation that you were eligible to take.   Unless you mistakenly took too much depreciation, you were only eligible to take 15 years of depreciation, so that is what your gain due to depreciation is based on (for real estate, it is actually called "Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain", not "recapture").
