Form 1041-T Allocation of Estimated Tax Payments to Beneficiaries

Note: The draft you are looking for begins on the next page.

Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING
This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication,
which the IRS is providing for your information. Do not file draft forms and do
not rely on draft forms, instructions, and publications for filing. We do not
release draft forms until we believe we have incorporated all changes (except
when explicitly stated on this coversheet). However, unexpected issues
occasionally arise, or legislation is passed—in this case, we will post a new draft
of the form to alert users that changes were made to the previously posted draft.
Thus, there are never any changes to the last posted draft of a form and the
final revision of the form. Forms and instructions generally are subject to OMB
approval before they can be officially released, so we post only drafts of them
until they are approved. Drafts of instructions and publications usually have
some changes before their final release.
Early release drafts are at IRS.gov/DraftForms and remain there after the
final release is posted at IRS.gov/LatestForms. All information about all forms,
instructions, and pubs is at IRS.gov/Forms.
Almost every form and publication has a page on IRS.gov with a friendly
shortcut. For example, the Form 1040 page is at IRS.gov/Form1040; the Pub.
501 page is at IRS.gov/Pub501; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/W4; and the
Schedule A (Form 1040/SR) page is at IRS.gov/ScheduleA. If typing in a link
above instead of clicking on it, be sure to type the link into the address bar of
your browser, not a Search box.
If you wish, you can submit comments to the IRS about draft or final forms,
instructions, or publications at IRS.gov/FormsComments. We cannot respond to
all comments due to the high volume we receive and may not be able to
consider many suggestions until the subsequent revision of the product.
If you have comments on reducing paperwork and respondent (filer) burden,
with respect to draft or final forms, please respond to the relevant information
collection through the Federal Register process; for more info, click here.

Purpose of Form

A trust or, for its final tax year, a decedent’s estate may elect under
section 643(g) to have any part of its estimated tax payments (but not
income tax withheld) treated as made by a beneficiary or beneficiaries.
The fiduciary files Form 1041-T to make the election. Once made, the
election is irrevocable.

How To File

Attach Form 1041-T to Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates
and Trusts, only if you are making the election with Form 1041.
Otherwise, file Form 1041-T separately.

Filing Form 1041-T with Form 1041 doesn’t change the due
date for filing Form 1041-T. See When To File below for the
due date for filing Form 1041-T.

CAUTION

When To File

For the election to be valid, a trust or decedent’s estate must file Form
1041-T by the 65th day after the close of the tax year as shown at the
top of the form. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal
holiday, file on the next business day. For a 2022 calendar year
decedent’s estate or trust, that date is March 6, 2023.

Period Covered
File the 2022 form for calendar year 2022 and fiscal years beginning in
2022 and ending in 2023. If the form is for a fiscal year or a short tax
year, fill in the tax year space at the top of the form.

CAUTION

You can’t allocate to a beneficiary tax withheld from income,
such as withholding from lottery or other gambling winnings,
or from salary or pension payments reported on Form 1041.
You must report this withholding on Form 1041, Schedule G,
Part II, line 14.

Line 2

Column (b)—Beneficiary’s name and address. Group the
beneficiaries to whom you are allocating estimated tax payments into
two categories. First, list all the individual beneficiaries. Then, list all the
other beneficiaries.
Column (c)—Beneficiary’s identifying number. For each beneficiary,
enter the appropriate taxpayer identification number (TIN). This is
generally the social security number (SSN) for individuals or employer
identification number (EIN) for all other entities. Failure to enter a valid
SSN or EIN may cause a delay in processing and could result in
penalties being imposed on the beneficiary. For those beneficiaries who
file a joint return, you can assist the IRS in crediting the proper account
by also providing the SSN, if known, of the beneficiary’s spouse.
However, this is an optional entry.
Column (d)—Amount of estimated tax payment allocated to
beneficiary. For each beneficiary, also report this amount in box 13 of
Schedule K-1 (Form 1041), using code A.
Column (e)—Proration percentage. For each listed beneficiary, divide
the amount shown in column (d) by the amount shown on line 1 and
enter the result as a percentage.

Line 3
If you are allocating a payment of estimated taxes to more than 10
beneficiaries, list the additional beneficiaries on an attached sheet that
follows the format of line 2. Enter on line 3 the total from the attached
sheet(s).
Paperwork Reduction Act Notice. We ask for the information on this
form to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the United States. You
are required to give us the information. We need it to ensure that you are
complying with these laws and to allow us to figure the correct amount
of allocated tax payments.
You aren’t required to provide the information requested on a form
that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless the form displays
a valid OMB control number. Books or records relating to a form or its
instructions must be retained as long as their contents may become
material in the administration of any Internal Revenue law. Generally, tax
returns and return information are confidential, as required by section
6103.
The time needed to complete and file this form will vary depending on
individual circumstances. The estimated average time is:
