Did you get a K-1 or a grantor information statement (or nothing except a tax reporting statement)?

 

If this is a grantor trust and the interest is reported to you, as owner, on a 1099 with your name and social security number, you would report the interest directly on your income tax return (1040).

If the income is from a trust, you should receive a K-1 from that trust showing the income you need to report on your personal return.  You would enter the K-1 as part of your tax return and any interest income would then be transferred to your Schedule B.  

 

If you do not have a K-1 from the trust, you should contact the trust administrator to ask when you should be receiving it.  It should be issued to you after the tax return for the trust has been filed.

 

For reference, see the following TurboTax help articles to learn more:

Where do I enter a Schedule K-1 that I received?
