I have Schedule K-1 line 1 & 2 items from a trust. I'm using turbotax deluxe and it is putting these items on schedule B instead of schedule E. Why?

The interest and dividend income shows up on schedule B and schedule E p 2 prints with the trust name but nothing filled in. How should I handle this?

    Income on Form 1041 Schedule K-1 in Boxes 1 & 2 is considered portfolio income, while most other K-1 items are passive income. The two types of income cannot be used to offset each other in the case of a loss.

     

    For this reason. interest, U.S. Bonds, and dividends in boxes 1 and 2a will transfer to your Schedule B. You should see a line item with the name of the trust and the amount you entered from the K-1. Interest under Part I and Dividends under Part II.
