Estimated Income Tax. Trusts that earn income must pay estimated tax payments during the year. These payments are due on April 15, June 15, September 15 and January 15 for calendar year trusts. Calculate the estimated payments on IRS Form 1041ES. The instructions for this form provide complete detail about how to pay this tax.
As trustee, you have a lot of flexibility in when to submit the first tax return. The first step is to pick a closing date for the trust's tax year. Suppose the grantor dies July 14. Some trusts must choose a calendar tax year ending Dec. 31. Other trusts can use a fiscal year with an ending date as far ahead as 11 months from the death. In this case, that would be June 14 of the following year.
