Why this feels so hard
“I’m the executor and don’t want to mess up the estate’s tax return.”
“Do I need to file a 1041 if the estate had no income?”
“I procrastinated and now the deadline is near—help.”
Estate and trust taxes involve Form 1041 (fiduciary return), possible Form 706 (estate tax), Form 709 (gift tax), K-1s to beneficiaries, EIN setup, and Illinois filings. The rules differ from a personal 1040, and decisions you make now can affect beneficiaries later.

Upload sensitive files through our encrypted portal; track progress without printing or mailing.
Local knowledge, Illinois included

How it works (and when)
Discovery & EIN Review (1–2 business days)
We confirm roles (executor/trustee), obtain or review the estate/trust EIN, and map which forms apply (Form 1041, final 1040, 706/709 if needed). If timing is tight, we discuss extensions.
Document Intake & Analysis (5–10 business days)
You’ll receive a simple checklist. We pull income statements (1099s), asset details, valuations, prior returns, and legal documents (will/trust). We confirm fiscal-year choices and Illinois requirements.
Preparation, QA & Coordination (5–10 business days)
We prepare the return(s), generate draft K-1s, and coordinate questions with your attorney/advisor. A second preparer reviews for accuracy before you approve.
E-File & K-1 Delivery (same day after approval)
We e-file eligible returns, provide filing confirmations, and deliver beneficiary K-1s. If an extension is prudent, we file it and set milestones so nothing slips.
Note: If you “started late,” we can file timely extensions to protect you while we finish the work.

Key filing timelines (typical, not legal advice)
- Form 1041 (fiduciary return): Generally due April 15 for calendar-year estates/trusts (or 5½ months after fiscal year-end). Extensions available.
- Form 706 (estate tax): Due 9 months after date of death; 6-month extension available.
- Form 709 (gift tax): Due April 15 for prior year gifts; extensions available.
- K-1s to beneficiaries: Delivered after 1041 is finalized so recipients can file accurately.
