I am a CA resident trustee. I am also beneficiary of trust with 2 non resident beneficiaries.
For simplicity, assume trust has $2,000 in taxable dividends from stocks and $11,000 in treasury interest in a money market fund and no deductions. The trust distributes all income. Is the Federal Form 1040 gross income $13,000 and the CA gross income $2,000? The taxable income on the 1040 is $-100 (negative). The taxable income of fiduciary on the CA 541 is $0. What is the CA 541net income? Is CA Form 541 required to be filed? Thank you.
