Abstract:
IRC section 6012 requires that an annual income tax return be filed for estates and trusts. Data is used to determine that the estates, trusts, and beneficiaries file the proper returns and paid the correct tax. The various schedules (Schedule D, I, J, and K-I) are used in the collection of information under the various authorizing statutes seen below (Legal Statutes). The worksheets are used to figure various taxes and deductions. Form 1041-V allows the Internal Revenue Service to process the payment more accurately and efficiently. The IRS strongly encourages the use of Form 1041-V, but there is no penalty if it is not used.

Short Statement:
The agency has updated the number of responses based on the most data obtained published in Publication 6292. The program change/adjustments in times to complete the forms was the result of a slight error in calculation in the previous submission and Schedule D-1 (Continuation Sheet) being made obsolete in 2014 (agency discretion). There have been no substantial changes to the forms that would affect burden.
