Has anyone ever prepared a trust return? DW’s mother put her money in an irrevocable trust. The three daughters are the owners. The trust only earns interest but some years might have some fees, like legal fees. Last year a guy DW’s sister works with “gave them a deal” and did it for $500. I didn’t want to get involved because it was the first year and even though I did some taxes at the cpa firm, I never did a trust return. Now, it seems like the estimates to do the return are coming in over $500 even over $1,000.
Now I’m thinking I could get a turbo tax version that can do the return and should have little to no problem preparing the return. My only real concern is the type A sister and her wanting everything “now”. I’m so beyond being on the clock that “when is it going to be done” isn’t anything I want to deal with. Though I think my pace (slow) would cause her more stress than me putting up with her would create for me.
Any words of wisdom or concern from the group before I offer my services?
