Whats the difference between form 8853 and 8879?

When filing taxes electronically last year using a tax accountant, we submitted taxes using form 8879-f.  This year, TurboTax has us using form 8853-fe to submit our taxes.  The forms are definitely NOT the same and appear to be used for different purposes.  The taxes I am attempting to file are for a simple trust.  Which form is appropriate?
