I filed my Federal and Illinois state taxes through TaxAct online and received a letter from the Illinois Department of Revenue stating I owed $1517.93 more in taxes than the original $7704.00 on my TaxAct return stated. I sent the letter saying I didn't agree with copies of my federal return page 1 and my W2 and 1099R forms. I just got another letter stating they still feel I owe the extra money. What should I do about this notice?

Specifically, how should the sale of the property be reported on the 1041, and does the trust need to report the financial distribution to the grantors on a K-1?
