Form 1041 Qualified Dividends Tax

Hello,

My question is around the use of the Qualified Dividends Tax Worksheet used to complete Schedule G, Part 1, Line 1a for the Form 1041.

For an estate, unclear how the qualified dividends are being handled.  For simplicity, lets say I have $3,000 of dividends of which $2,800 are qualified, no other income, capital gains, etc.  I would have expected the $2,800 not to be taxed and the $200 to be tax using 2023 tax rate schedule provided in the instruction for form 1041.  But it appears tax $2,600 is taxed at 0%, $200 is taxed at 15% and $200 is taxed at the 2023 tax rate schedule provide in the instructions

 

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Can you post a screenshot of your Qualified Dividends Tax Worksheet?

 

Note that an estate is going to have a $600 exemption if there are no distributions. On a test return using your figures, the program shows taxable income of $2,400 and a total tax of $0.

OK, I'll post the one I have from a test return (yours should be similar).
