    Do you get anything else in the way of income? Do you get a K-1 from the trust? Interest income is taxable so it needs to be reported. Post more information.

    You should get a K-1 for this interest, you will need to enter this on your tax return if you have other income and are filing a return, as it is taxable income.  When you enter the K-1 on your return, it will generate a Schedule E.  In order to file with TurboTax, you will need to use either TurboTax Premium Online or TurboTax Premier Desktop as both of these will handle Schedule E.

    You might get a K-1 for this interest. You will not get a K-1 if your father is still alive and the trust is a revocable trust whereby you are essentially just receiving a gift from your father. You could also get a grantor's information statement rather than a K-1. Again, more information is needed.
