Inherited investment account

[With1L]

If you liquidate an inherited investment account while it is still in the trust and then distribute to funds, does the trust pay taxes on that?  Or do those receiving funds have to pay taxes?

Contact the trustee.

You should receive a K-1 (1041) if there is any income, gain, etc. that has been passed through to you as a beneficiary of the trust.
