Allocate amounts equally among first tier beneficiaries (1041)

Complete these steps to allocate amounts equally among first tier beneficiaries.

  1. Click the Allocation folder in the Data Entry tab to open the Allocate screen.
  2. Enter X in the First tier beneficiaries: Allocate all items, except capital gains, equally field. If capital gains should also be allocated equally, enter in the First tier beneficiaries: Allocate capital gains equally field.

Notes

  • You don't need to complete these fields if this is a simple trust, grantor trust, agency relationship, or final return because the default is equal allocation.
  • To exclude a beneficiary from this calculation, click the Beneficiaries tab, and then click Edit for the beneficiary you wish to exclude. Click the Federal Tab and enter X in the Exclude from equal allocation field.
