Client is an estate with 8/31 fiscal year end. We have a 2008 1099INT. Does it get picked up on the estate's return for year ending 8/31/09 or is it prorated between 8/31/08 and 8/31/09? Thanks.

you need the monthly statements to determine the correct interest to report. If cash basis, it is pro-rated based on when it is actually posted to the account (i.e. some months more, and some less based on interest rate and balances).

that's why the 'accounting' is required before preparing a return

'a 1041 that matches the 1099-s is wrong'

as I always say

that is, when I'm not saying something equally as elucidating

like

'It's better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.'

I say that quite often.

I understand but isn't the IRS looking to match the 1099 with what is reported on the 1041?
