You have to use TurboTax Business in order to prepare and file Form 1041 (with associated K-1s) for a trust.

See https://turbotax.intuit.com/small-business-taxes

However, if your trust is a grantor trust (which is disregarded for federal income tax purposes), you can report using one of the optional methods which do not require filing a 1041.

Generally, if this is a grantor trust (aka revocable living trust) where you are treated as the owner of the assets therein, you can report any income and expenses on your personal tax return (Form 1040).

Does the trust have its own tax ID number (EIN)?
