What are the exact terms of the trust, particularly with respect to the use of the home?   A trust splits legal and equitable ownership of trust assets with the trustee holding bare legal title and the beneficiaries holding equitable title (they enjoy beneficial ownership).    Regardless, since the home is being used for personal purposes (essentially since the $1/yr rent is far less than fair rental value and is merely nominal), expenses are not deductible with the exception of real estate taxes and even those have limitations.    What would seemingly be fair is to make a distribution to your brother to cover any and all expenses relating to the property since he is currently residing there basically free of charge. However, the terms of the trust may dictate a different treatment.

Please clarify your question by adding some additional information so we may better help you. Such as; What are you trying to do in TurboTax? What screen are you on? Which Form 1099 are you trying to enter? Are you importing documents? What is the screen asking for? Did you get an error message?

Yes, you absolutely can. TurboTax Free (Online) and TurboTax Basic (Desktop) both support RRSP contributions. In fact, RRSP contributions are considered part of a "simple return" in Canada.   Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

To clarify: which box on your W-2 are you referring to?   Box B is the employer's identification number (EIN). You will need this number to either import or manually fill out your Form W-2 in TurboTax.   Box A is the employee's (your) social security number. This number is typically shown as only the last four digits on the W-2 for security purposes.
