My parent passed away in 2009 leaving an irrevocable trust inwhich I am the only trustee and beneficiary.   The Trust owns property in Missouri and a brokerage account and I live in another state where I handle the trust matters.  Is there a way that the trust can have a filing status in Missouri while I claim residency in another state?

    Hi @jmb126502506 

     

    Since you have to file a return for the Trust that is separate from your individual tax return it is possible for the trust to have a state liability that you do not have.  

    HERE are the rules for filing a 1041 Trust tax return. 

     

    If you find your self stuck on filing this kind of return, TurboTax Business Desktop Software is easy to follow and will allow you to file a proper and accurate return. 

     

    Thank you for choosing TurboTax!
