How to allocation LT Capital Loss to a Trust Beneficiary

Hi - 

I have a Complex Trust with 2 50% beneficiaries.   The Trust owns stock shares in one company.  One beneficiary sold stock during the year.  I see how to allocate dividends earned on stock in current year but not how to allocate LT loss from the stock sale.  How can I allocate the LT loss to a particular beneficiary and report on K1?

 

This is not the final year of the trust - the Trust agreement does allow for loss pass throughs.   

 

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Regardless, the IRS does NOT allow for loss passthroughs to beneficiaries until the trust terminates and files its final return.
