In this example, we have an initial trust return for a Florida irrevocable nongrantor trust. The trust was formed by a father who named his son as the sole beneficiary. The trustee is required to distribute a fixed amount per month and has the discretionary authority to make additional distributions to the extent the trust has net income.

Before a trust begins filing Form 1041, it is necessary for the trust to compute its Trust Accounting Income (TAI) in accordance with the trust agreement and under state & local laws.

Trusts must accurately track their Trust Accounting Income, Federal taxable income, and Distributable Net Income (DNI). If a trust beneficiary receives a distribution of cash or property during the year, the allocation of income to the beneficiary is reported on Schedule K1.
