Line 12 for fiduciary fees on your 1041 and Line 8z (Schedule 1 - 1040 -other income) for the fiduciary reporting the fees on their 1040.

Thank you - I’ll populate and see how it appears.

 

Last year CPA I hired used line 15a with a statement for trustee fees on 1041 over 12,  and I can’t figure out the difference.

There likely would be no difference.

 

However, Line 12 is specifically for fiduciary fees and expenses for administering an estate or trust.
