Trust tax records

For a trust return, its distributions, and the Schedule K-1s beneficiaries receive.

All return types

GHL prepares the trust's tax returns, keeps its books, and maintains its records, all according to the trust document the trustee provides.

How GHL works with a trust

GHL prepares the trust’s tax returns and keeps its books, payroll, accounting and records. Everything follows the trust document the trustee provides, so the filings and the records match what the trust says.

Records to gather

Provide every item that applies to your return. If an item is unavailable or uncertain, identify it before preparation begins.

Before preparation begins

Complete. Accurate. Organized.

GHL cannot complete a return until the required information is complete and accurate. Check every item that applies, and identify anything unavailable or uncertain before submitting your records.

Complete
Include every applicable tax form, statement, notice, and supporting record.
Accurate
Confirm names, tax IDs, totals, dates, ownership, and payment amounts.
Organized
Label files by tax year, taxpayer or entity, account, and document type.

Tax preparation fees assume usable records.

Bookkeeping services are available when needed and are billed separately. Time required to organize, reconcile, reconstruct, research, or locate missing information is outside standard return preparation and may increase the final cost.

Bookkeeping and cleanup
Recording transactions, correcting accounts, or completing unfinished books.
Reconciliation and reconstruction
Resolving differences or rebuilding activity from statements and source documents.
Missing-information follow-up
Repeated requests, research, or time spent locating and organizing necessary data.

Next step

Ask about trust tax returns

Tell GHL what you need, and GHL will contact you about availability, scope and fees.

Asking does not begin work.

Ask about trust tax returns

Send documents through the Secure Client Portal. Never attach tax documents, account numbers or Social Security numbers to a web form or an email. If you engage GHL, it gives you portal access when that engagement starts.
