Professional Estate and Trust Tax Services in New York
What Are Estate and Trust Tax Returns?
IRS Form 1041 – U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts
Form 1041 is the fiduciary tax return required for estates and trusts that generate income during administration. It reports all taxable income, deductions, capital gains, and distributions to beneficiaries.
New York IT-205 – Fiduciary Income Tax Return
New York State requires estates and trusts that have income from NY sources or resident status to file Form IT-205. GTA Accounting Group ensures accurate dual filing across federal and state.
When Are Returns Due?
Fiduciary tax returns are generally due April 15 for calendar-year estates and trusts. We help you plan ahead, file timely, and avoid interest or penalties.
