Purpose. The estate or trust uses Schedule K-1 (541) to report your share of the estate's or trust's income, deductions, credits, etc. Your name, address, and tax identification number, as well as the estate's or trust's name, address, and tax identification number, should be entered on the Schedule K-1 (541).

You then provide each beneficiary a copy of their K-1, and attach copies of all of the K-1s for all of the beneficiaries to Form 1041 when you file the tax return with the Internal Revenue Service.

Schedule K-1 (Form 1041) is used to report a beneficiary's share of an estate, including income, credits, deductions and profits. Beneficiaries of an inheritance should receive a K-1 tax form inheritance statement for the 2023 tax year by the end of 2023, or shortly thereafter in January for some rare cases.

Reporting Taxable Trust Distributions When a trust distributes income to one or more beneficiaries, the trust takes a deduction using Form 1041. It then issues a K-1 Trust Distribution Form to each beneficiary. This form shows the amount that was distributed and how much was attributed to income versus principal.

Don't file it with your tax return, unless backup withholding was reported in box 13, code B. Generally, you must report items shown on your Schedule K-1 (including attached schedules) the same way that the estate or trust treated the items on its return.

A partnership then files Form 1065, the partnership tax return that contains the activity on each partner's K-1. An S corporation reports activity on Form 1120-S. Trusts and estates report the K-1 form activity on Form 1041.
