Why is schedule E created if all fields blank.  K-1 (Form 1041) Estates and Trust?

    It should not be blank if you have a K-1 from a 1041 tax return.    Part l and Part ll should be blank but scroll down to Part lll - that is where you should see the K-1 data reported.

    Schedule E page 2  Part III No data. Estate info name and number but no $$$ 

     

    My K-1 only has entries in 11A , 11B and 12A and 12J. all other boxes are empty. No dividends gains, income

    The schedule is generated by the program, but you will not have any entries since you do not have any income or loss (passive or nonpassive), just final year deductions.

    Thanks, just seems strange to have an empty form....can it be deleted?....it is sent to the IRS

    The form almost certainly contains the name and tax ID number of the trust or estate.
