    To enter a trust K-1 into TurboTax, please follow these instructions:

     

    1. Go to the "Federal" section of TurboTax

    2. Choose "Income and Expenses"

    3. Find the "Business and Investment and Estate/Trust Income" section

    4. Click on the "Start" option to the right of "Schedule K-1"  and work through that section to enter your schedule K-1 from form 1041

    I am using Turbotax Premier, which I purchased and download from Amazon today.

    When I click on Federal, it bring up:

    Wages and Income

    Deductions and Credits

    Other Tax Situations

    Federal Review

    Smart Check

     

    Which do I select to start entering information from a Schedule K-1 1041 form (income from a trust).  I've been tearing my hair out trying to get it entered in the only place I could clearly see the words "Schedule K-1"  and that was under the "Business Items" section, and it's listed as "Schedule K-1, Q". 

     

    The steps you list don't correspond with what I see on "Your 2019 Income Summary" screen.   I should note I've already entered all my elderly mothers income except from my late step-father's estate and her stocks and bonds (I will import that information later).

    Please help me with this.
