Can I file a tax return for a family trust?

If you need to file a separate Business return like for a 1065 Partnership or LLC or a 1120 including a Single Member LLC - S corp or a 1041 Estate/Trust return you need Turbo Tax Business in addition to a personal tax program.


You need to buy Turbo Tax Business, not to be confused with the personal Home & Business version. Home & Business is just for personal returns that need schedule C for self employment. TT Business is not available to do online or on a Mac. You can buy the Windows Desktop program here,

You can have both a personal program and the Business program installed on the same computer at the same time.

If the trust is a grantor trust (see link below), then there are optional filing methods.

If the trust is required to file Form 1041, then TurboTax Business will be needed as the TurboTax individual income tax preparation products do not support Form 1041.
