Form 1041, also known as the U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts, is a tax form used to report the income, deductions, gains, and losses of estates and trusts. When a person passes away, their estate becomes a separate legal entity for tax purposes. Similarly, a trust, which is a fiduciary arrangement allowing a third party (trustee) to hold assets on behalf of beneficiaries, must also be treated as a separate entity.
