Fill out the 1041. You'll find that the exemption amount
will reduce the amount of rental income you have to report
through your K-1. I have had several situations like this
where the IRS has forced a client to file a 1041 for a
single distribution after the death of the owner. I hope
they are regretting it because in each situation the
survivor has ended up reporting less income on their own
1040, and paying less tax.

If the trust took any deductions you would report it on Part
III because the trust used Part 1 and put the net on your
K-1, orgave you the gross and deductions to oput on Part
III. If the trust passed the income straight through to
you and there are deductions, you must use Part 1 to get
them. That is: Someone must use Part I to get deductions.

If there are no deductions, jsut ordinary lease income with
no depreciation, taxes, travel, etc, it doesn't make any
difference where you report it. Part 1 of Schedule E is
the only way to take RE deductions.

You need to fill out a 1041 for the Trust itself, and
there's a schedule E that belongs to the trust. The trust
issues you a K-1 which is filled out appropriately to flow
to your own tax return, your own sch E is part of your
return. It's a good idea to get it right, both to be certain
you are paying the right tax, but also to avoid an audit. I
suppose the best outcome of an audit is when you are told
"wrong boxes, but your total tax computation is correct" but
why not get it right 100% the first time? And here, it seems
you had it right anyway.

I am a beneficiary and trustee of a pass-through irrevocable
trust, the sole income of which is rent from a land lease.

Through the years, I have reported the income in Part I
(Rental Real Estate) of Schedule E with no problem; but
wonder if it would be more appropriate to report it in
Part III (Income From..Trusts)

Or does it not really matter so long as the income finds
its way to line 17 of Form 1040?

What say you?

Thanks

Bill
