I have been asking about questions related to this topic in another thread. In order not to divert the thread, I think I should start a new thread on it.
A trust will make the 645 election to be on a fiscal year. I have a few miscellaneous questions.
(1) Lets say a decedent has both a trust and a estate, by making the election, is the income of both the trust and the income of the estate to be reported in one single Form 1041?
(2) If only one Form 1041 is to be filed, should the Form 1041 be marked as a trust tax return or an estate tax return?
(3) An FEIN has been applied for the trust. If the 645 election is made, would that FEIN become the tax ID on the Form 1041 that reports the income of both the trust and the estate?
