I am the beneficiary of a testamentary trust that became irrevocable in 2017. The trust has deductions and losses on lines 15a (other deductions not subject to the 2% floor), 15b (a net operating loss due to a casualty loss), and 16 (loss). How will these losses appear on my 1040, and which of these losses will increase my income for the alternative minimum tax (AMT) computation?

I am handicapped and cannot walk. I need someone to prepare my Federal Income Tax for me. In the past, a lady from H&R Block has done my taxes by coming to my residence, picking up all my info, and then preparing my taxes. I have everything in a large envelope, ready for pickup. Who can help me?

My mother-in-law passed away in 2016. Her trust received a distribution of $1496 in 2017, with a taxable amount of $487 reported on the 1099-R. This is the only remaining taxable amount for this trust for 2017. Do we need to file a 1041 for this situation?

I purchased land from my grandparents in 2016 on a contract for deed. I filled out a 1099 in 2016 to report the interest payment. I did this again in 2017 as I have an annual payment to make to them. Their accountant is telling me that I didn't need to make the 1099 for 2017 and should fill out an amended 1099 and send a letter to the IRS. This is a 5-year contract for deed with a balloon payment at the end of the fifth year. I assumed I needed to report the interest each year and not just the first year. Should I fill out an amended 1099 for 2017 as their accountant advised?
