I received income as a trustee. Where does this go, and how do I claim it?

"Where does this go, and how do I claim it?"

Assuming you are not a professional fiduciary, compensation for being a trustee is miscellaneous income and would wind up on Line 21 of a 1040 (Other income). 

Follow the screenshots below to enter the amount of compensation you received as trustee in TurboTax.
