IRC section 6012 requires that an
annual income tax return be filed for estates and trusts. Data is
used to determine that the estates, trusts, and beneficiaries file
the proper returns and paid the correct tax. The various schedules
(Schedule D, I, J, and K-I) are used in the collection of
information under the various authorizing statutes seen below
(Legal Statutes). The worksheets are used to figure various taxes
and deductions. Form 1041-V allows the Internal Revenue Service to
process the payment more accurately and efficiently. The IRS
strongly encourages the use of Form 1041-V, but there is no penalty
if it is not used. The FAQs posted to IRS.gov will assist taxpayers
in fulfilling their filing obligations for the tax year.
