Received income from family trust to cover funeral expenses. How report income?

This was a distribution requested by trustee for above named purpose.

As a general rule, trust distributions are not taxable income.  However, you may be required to report a share of the trust's or estate's income on your tax return.  Only the trustee or executor of the estate will know for sure, so you should contact that person.
