Have a trust that was final in 2023 that made an allowable charity donation. Being a final year it is a complex trust. Obviously being a final year, all income is being distributed. The Charity portion of the program has been filled out with the charity info and donation amount.
The program is generating a 1041-A despite the exception for having to file a 1041-A if all income is being distributed. When I change the designation to simple trust, the 1041-A goes away but there is a non-critical diagnostic that simple trusts cannot take a charitable deduction. The donation amount is appearing on the K-1 of the beneficiaries.
I have looked around to see if there is a box to check that says income must be distributed but cannot find such a box.
What am I missing? Thanks in advance all!
