Filing a first and final complex trust 1041 for my mother's trust (she passed away in 2019). I have made corpus distributions. Trust accounting income is calculated as negative. Do I adjust it to a zero value?
If adjusted to zero, the K-1s to beneficiaries show I am passing through a Line 11 Excess deduction and Long-term capital loss carryover, which make sense based on the circumstances and I understand.
If I do not adjust the negative trust accounting income value, in addition to the above I get a K-1 Line 12 negative AMT adjustment, and in K-1 Line 14 "Other Information" negative tax exempt interest and a corresponding positive Adjustment for section 1411 net investment income or deductions, and a negative Foreign Taxes. None of these make sense to me to show on the K-1s.
Would appreciate any advice.

It is not clear how you entered the distributions, but the treatment you described above appears to be correct in the instance of a final return.
