I am using Turbotax Premier and apparently I need to file a form 1041 for a 
 liquidating trust and I don't know what to do? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, James

The form that you supplied is an alternative Form 1041 (Grantor) filing and is what informs you of certain income and expenses that should be reported by you on your personal form 1040. [N.B.:Since you uploaded a document into a public space with your personal financial data and tax id, it has been removed to secure your information!!!!]

COMMENT:  While the form you received from an investment fund indicates that it is reporting as a grantor trust, in truth it is a partnership and it would have been more helpful had they reported as if a Schedule K-1 (1065) and not (1041 Grantor) had been supplied.  

Anyway, there is only one relevant data item for you to report however to do it correctly, I would advise reporting as if you had received a Schedule K-1.  On the Personal Income Summary interview, scroll down to Business Investment and Estate/Trust Income and start that section and act as if the form you received was a Schedule K-1 from a Trust.

  1. Enter the name and Tax ID of the trust, and the address
  2. You will enter the Ordinary (Business) Income on Line 6 of the Schedule K-1 entry.
  3. Finally, for that same amount report that as "Qualified Business Income" on Line 14 using Code "I" (letter I).
  4. TurboTax will carry the amounts to the appropriate locations in the Form 1040.

Scruffy, you are the greatest for looking after me!

better you should read the answer itself and contact the limited partnership fund or your financial advisor and demand that in the future a proper and descriptive tax information report be provided - that Grantor Info Sheet would be useless or clueless to most folks who receive it.

BTW, line 14 entry is important because it is the 2017 TCAJ 20% tax relief write-off of the income reported.

Scruffy, you are right that Grantor Info Sheet was foreign to me. Thanks again for you incite.
