Estates and Trusts

I have a final K-1 from an estate with some capital gains and a final year deduction. When I enter these in Turbo tax, my taxes do not increase when I enter the capital gains, and the taxes did not decrease when I entered the final year deductions. Where should these show up? Should I override, or have I entered these incorrectly in my K-1?

    That is not unusual and do NOT make any changes or overrides.  If you have not entered in all your information yet then that may be part of the reason you didn't see a change.   AND the cap gains could be taxed at zero % if you have not entered any other income yet ( see the cap gain worksheet)   AND  the deductions go on a Sch A but only if you have enough to itemize deductions (review that section when you get to it).

    Upon further review, I found that there was a sizable carry forward of a capital gains loss. So the small perturbations I made, weren't enough. But I did find the taxes did increase if I changed the long term capital gains values enough. 

     

    I'm going to experiment with the losses from the 1041 line 11(A) to see if changing those also changes the tax quantities.

    Also, this is to file an amended return for 2019

    if you look closely at the K-1, it should tell you which lines they trace to on the Form 1040, but as stated by @Critter-3 , I wouldn't be concerned until you have added all your other income when Jan/ Feb rolls around.
