SUPPORTING STATEMENT
Internal Revenue Service
U.S. Income Tax Returns for Estate and Trusts
Forms: Form 1041, associated schedules, and related attachments.
OMB Control Number 1545-0092
CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Sections 6011 & 6012 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) require entities to prepare and file estate and trust income tax returns. These forms and related schedules are used by estate and trust to report income and other compensation subject to tax as well as to report and disclosure taxes paid.
Treasury Regulations section 1.6011-1 explains that every person subject to any tax, or required to collect any tax, under Subtitle A of the Code, shall make such returns or statements as are required by the regulations. The return or statement shall include therein the information required by the applicable regulations or forms. Section 1.6012-3 explains the general guidelines for estates and trusts required to make returns of income.
OMB clearance for the burden estimate will be requested before the relevant tax filing season but after the IRS has had the opportunity to update its models with prior year data and to make necessary revisions to draft forms (including providing drafts to public for comment) and is sought on an annual basis instead of on the regular 3-year Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) cycle. Doing so ensures that new and updated forms can be made available for use on a timelier basis.
This information collection request (ICR) covers the actual reporting, recordkeeping, and third-party disclosure burden associated with the forms and their associated schedules listed in Appendix A, and the regulations and agency guidance documents listed in Appendix B.
USE OF DATA
The data is used by the IRS to verify that the correct taxes have been paid. The IRS uses some of the tax data to verify that the beneficiaries included the correct amounts on their returns. Also, the IRS uses the data to process payments more accurately and efficiently.
USE OF IMPROVED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE BURDEN
Electronic filing is currently available for forms and schedules used by estate and trust entities.
EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY DUPLICATION
The information obtained through this collection is unique and is not already available for use or adaptation from another source.
METHODS TO MINIMIZE BURDEN ON SMALL BUSINESSES OR OTHER SMALL ENTITIES
There is no flexibility to reduce burden on small businesses or other small entities because the statutes apply to small businesses and small entities. Small business should not be disadvantaged as the forms have been structed to request the least amount of information and still satisfy the requirements of the statute and the needs of the IRS.
The forms can be filed electronically, which further reduces any burden to small businesses. The IRS proactively works with both internal and external stakeholders to minimize the burden on small businesses, while maintaining tax compliance. The IRS also seeks input regarding the burden estimates from the public via notices and tax product instructions.
CONSEQUENCES OF LESS FREQUENT COLLECTION ON FEDERAL PROGRAMS OR POLICY ACTIVITIES
Form 1041 and related schedules are used by the IRS to verify that the income tax reported is correct. Consequences of less frequent collection on federal programs or policy activities could consist of a decrease in the amount of taxes collected by the IRS, inaccurate and untimely filing of tax returns, an increase in tax violations, and the inability of the IRS to meet its mission.
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRING DATA COLLECTION TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH GUIDELINES IN 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2)
There are no special circumstances requiring data collection to be inconsistent with guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2).
CONSULTATION WITH INDIVIDUALS OUTSIDE OF THE AGENCY ON AVAILABILITY OF DATA, FREQUENCY OF COLLECTION, CLARITY OF INSTRUCTIONS AND FORMS, AND DATA ELEMENTS
In response to the Federal register notice dated July 23, 2025 (90 FR 34734), we have received a public comment from American Bankers Association. The full comments will be included within submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The summary of the comments and the IRS responses are below:

IRS response |
|
|
IRS should institute direct deposit for less than $1,000,000 for Forms 1041 and 706 allowing trustee and executors to notify and furnish the appropriate documentation to immediately redirect all pending electronic deposits to the account established and identified by the new trustee or executor. Also expand payment of tax options to include Direct Pay versus the existing authorized payment method of Electronic Funds Transfer Payment System (EFTPS) to simply payment process for taxpayer. |
The 2025 Form 1041 and Form 706 (Rev 8-2025) both added information for direct deposit. |
|
|
IRS should create and publish a Revenue Procedure (Rev. Proc.) similar to Rev. Proc, 2012-17 by November 2025 to allow for fiduciaries to electronically furnish Schedule K-1 for Form 1041 to beneficiaries, additionally to allow S Corporations to electronically furnish Schedule K-1 for Form 1120-S to shareholders to reduce unnecessary risks such as mail theft and identity theft. |
IRS is unable to implement these suggestions for Tax year 2025/Processing Year 2026. IRS will evaluate these suggestions for any form developments for Tax year 2026/Processing year 2027. |
|
|
IRS should modify the IRS electronic filing system which is not designed to accept “write-in” items requiring and IRS personnel to process. One approach is a new line on Form 1041 Schedule G to report Section 962 tax owed on #9. Also, allow Form 1041 Schedule G line 8 to accept aggregate increases in taxes pursuant to section 1291(c)(2), aggregate amount of interest charges pursuant to section 1291(c)(3), line 16f), and Accrued interest due upon the termination of an election to defer undistributed passive foreign investment company (PFIC) earnings tax liability under section 1294 currently reported on Form 8621, line 16e, 16f, and line 24. |
IRS declines to implement these suggestions for Tax Year 2025/Processing Year 2026. IRS will evaluate these suggestions for any form and instruction developments for Tax Year 2026/Processing Year 2027, in conjunction with ongoing guidance projects, and balancing the needs of the Agency and any new legislative priorities.
|
|
|
IRS should create a Notice to be issued allowing an administrative exception to the Form 1041-A filing requirement for charitable deductions passed through to a trust from a partnership. We also suggest that the instructions to Form 1041-A be revised to add a fourth exception, namely, that the trustee of a trust whose deduction under section 642(c) is solely attributable to its share of charitable contributions made by partnerships is not required to file Form 1041-A. |
IRS is unable to implement this suggestion as the regulations (26 CFR § 1.6034-1) require information returns for trusts claiming charitable deductions under section 642(c). Thus, this comment would require a change in the regulations rather than a change to Form 1041-A. However, IRS is evaluating this suggestion for potential future guidance (See item 39 under "DEREGULATION AND BURDEN REDUCTION" on the 2025–2026 Priority Guidance Plan). |
|
|
IRS should create a Form named 1041-NR and related schedules to be developed for foreign trusts as there is no clear guidance to properly complete Form 1040-NR for a foreign nongrantor trust earing U.S. source or effectively connected income. Also, there is not a section to calculate the distributable net income and the distribution deduction, nor a designated Schedule K-1(s) for the beneficiary(ies). Additionally Form 1041-T could be changed to include back-up federal tax withholding for the trust by the payor (section 643(d)). |
IRS is unable to implement these suggestions for Tax year 2025/Processing Year 2026. IRS will evaluate these suggestions for any form developments for Tax year 2026/Processing year 2027. |
EXPLANATION OF DECISION TO PROVIDE ANY PAYMENT OR GIFT TO RESPONDENTS

ESTIMATED BURDEN OF INFORMATION COLLECTION and
ESTIMATED TOTAL ANNUAL COST BURDEN TO RESPONDENTS
PRA Approval of Forms Used by Trust and Estate Taxpayers
Under the PRA, OMB assigns a control number to each ''collection of information'' that it reviews and approves for use by an agency. The PRA also requires agencies to estimate the burden for each collection of information. Burden estimates for each control number are displayed in (1) PRA supporting statement that accompanies collections of information, (2) Federal Register notices, and (3) OMB's database of approved information collections.
This collection includes income tax returns and related forms, schedules, attachments, and published guidance used by trust and estate taxpayers to report and pay their income taxes.
RAAS Taxpayer Burden Model for Trust and Estate Taxpayers
Tax compliance burden is defined as the time and money taxpayers spend to comply with their tax filing responsibilities. Time-related activities include recordkeeping, tax planning, gathering tax materials, learning about the law, and completing and submitting the return. Out-of-pocket costs include expenses such as purchasing tax software, paying a third-party preparer, and printing and postage. Tax compliance burden does not include a taxpayer’s tax liability, economic inefficiencies caused by sub-optimal choices related to tax deductions or credits, or psychological costs.
The IRS uses the RAAS Taxpayer Burden Model for Trust and Estate Taxpayers (Trust and Estate Burden Model) to estimate the burden experienced by trust and estate taxpayers when complying with Federal tax laws. The model is based on a survey of Tax Year 2022 trust and estate tax return filers that was fielded in 2023 and 2024. The model is updated annually to account for technical, legislative, and agency adjustments.
The RAAS methodology for estimating burden focuses on the characteristics of activities undertaken by trusts and estate taxpayers in meeting their tax filing obligations. It is based on the primary drivers associated with observed trust and estate income tax reporting burden. These include tax preparation method, type of trust or estate, modified positive income, and number of K-1s issued. Developments in tax law and changes in the tax forms and instructions are incorporated into the model as appropriate.
Taxpayer Burden Estimates
Summary results for Fiscal Year 2026 using the Trust and Estate Burden Model estimation methodology are presented below. The data shown are the best forward-looking estimates available for trust and estate income tax returns filed for Tax Year 2025. The burden estimates are based on statutory requirements as of November 20, 2025.

Note: Reported time and cost burdens are national averages and do not necessarily reflect a “typical” case. Most taxpayers experience lower than average burden, with taxpayer burden varying considerably by taxpayer type. |
|||||
Tax return data are used to calculate a monetization rate for trust and estate entities based on constructed total revenue. A lower bound is set at the national median wage rate from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational and Employment Wage Statistics (OEWS). An upper bound is set using labor rates from the BLS OEWS and the BLS Employer Costs for Employee Compensation from the National Compensation Survey. Specifically, we use the OEWS 90% percentile for accountants and auditors plus the ratio of total compensation to wages and salaries from private industry workers (management, professional, and related occupations) to account for fringe benefits. An additional adjustment accounts for administrative overhead.
The following additional breakouts of average burden are provided for transparency in understanding the average estimated burden experienced by taxpayers.

ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The federal government cost estimate for product development is based on a model that considers the following three cost factors for each information product: aggregate labor costs for development, including annualized startup expenses, operating and maintenance expenses, and distribution of the product that collects the information. These costs do not include any activities such as taxpayer assistance and enforcement.
The government computes cost using a multi-step process. First, the government creates a weighted factor for the level of effort to create each information collection product based on variables, such as complexity, number of pages, type of product, and frequency of revision. Second, the total costs associated with developing the product such as labor cost, and operating expenses associated with the downstream impact such as support functions, are added together to obtain the aggregated total cost. Then, the aggregated total cost and factor are multiplied together to obtain the aggregated cost per product. Lastly, the aggregated cost per product is added to the cost of shipping and printing each product to IRS offices, National Distribution Center, libraries, and other outlets. The result is the government cost estimate per product.

REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN
The year-over-year change in burden is analyzed and reported by technical adjustments, legislative adjustments, and agency adjustments.
Changes Due to Technical Adjustment: The majority of the year-over year change in burden is due to technical adjustments. The table provided below breaks down the major changes by technical adjustment type.
Updates to FY2025 estimates resulted in an 8.4% increase in total monetized burden. This net increase is primarily driven by a revision to the monetization rate and an increase in the aggregate filer count, the composition of the underlying tax return data, and revised legislative estimates based on filing data.
The Fiscal Year 2026 population adjustments transition the underlying data file from Fiscal Year 2025 to Fiscal Year 2026 which includes aging the data for macroeconomic factors and adjusting weights to account for changes in the year-over-year population differences. These changes resulted in a net increase to total monetized burden of 1.9%. This includes a decrease of 0.5% in the filer population, a decrease of 0.4% in time burden, and 1.9% increase out-of-pocket costs.
Altogether, these technical adjustments increased total monetized burden by 10.3%. This includes a 1.4% decrease in time burden and a 10.4% increase in out-of-pocket costs.

Changes Due to Legislative Adjustment: There are two legislative adjustments that may have a material effect on burden relative to a current policy baseline. These include new 1099-DA reporting requirements and changes associated with Pub. L. 119-21 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act).
Trusts and Estates receiving Form 1099-DA is expected to increase total monetized burden by 1.4%. This includes a 1.2% increase in time burden and a 1.4% increase out-of-pocket costs.
The overall impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a small decrease in total monetized burden of 0.9%. This includes a decrease in time burden of 0.2% and a decrease in out-of-pocket costs of 1.0% and is driven by burden associated with Sections 70433 (Increase in Threshold for Requiring Information Reporting with Respect to Certain Payees), 70502 (Termination of Clean Vehicle Credit), and 70503 (Termination of Qualified Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit).
Altogether, adjustments due to legislative changes are expected to increase total monetized burden by 0.5%. This includes a 1.1% increase in time burden and a 0.4% increase in out-of-pocket costs.

PLANS FOR TABULATION, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND PUBLICATION
There are no plans for tabulation, statistical analysis, and publication.
REASONS WHY DISPLAYING THE OMB EXPIRATION DATE IS INAPPROPRIATE
The IRS believes that displaying the OMB expiration date is inappropriate because it could cause confusion by leading taxpayers to believe that the forms and regulations expire as of the expiration date. Taxpayers are not likely to be aware that the IRS intends to request renewal of the OMB approval and obtain a new expiration date before the old one expires.
