Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the great question.  If you are the beneficiary of a trust, you are responsible for paying tax on your share of the trust income that's distributed to you. The Schedule K-1 you receive details your share of the trust's income, deductions and credits, which you report on your tax return.

 

Capital gains will be taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20% based on your total taxable income and your filing status. Here is a great link to the federal and state short- and long-term capital gains tax rates for 2021, based on taxable income.

 

Thanks,

Akil C.
