First you should make sure the interest is high enough to require the estate return to be filed.

  • $600 or more of taxable income and a trust return is required to be filed.
  • Interest is entered on Line 1

A trust is required to file a 1041 if it has any taxable income or income of $600 or more regardless of taxable income.

 

See Instructions for Form 1041 and Schedules A, B, G, J, and K-1 (2023) | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)

 

Grantor trusts have several filing options.
