Trusts: Who Must File 

 

The fiduciary (or one of the joint fiduciaries) must file Form 1041 for a domestic trust taxable under section 641 that has:

  1. Any taxable income for the tax year;

  2. Gross income of $600 or more (regardless of taxable income);

  3. A beneficiary who is a nonresident alien; or

  4. If you held a qualified investment in a QOF at any time during the year, you must file your return with Form 8997 attached. See the Form 8997 instructions.

So does the .37c qualify as income? I thought since it was under .50c it would round down to zero and no return needed.
