| 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. | |

| I understand but isn't the IRS looking to match the 1099 with what is reported on the 1041? | |
| June 8, 2009 | |
| The 1099 is issued on a calendar year; a 1041 is seldom prepared on a calendar year - meaning that matching is virtually impossible. Same deal with C corps, which is why ( I think) 1099's don't have to be issued to corporations....yet. | |

| It goes on 2009. Your 2008 return was filed prior to receiving the 1099. | |

| PBinNJ -
The interest on the 2008 1099 must be broken into 2 periods. That interest which was earned for the period 1/1/2008 through 8/31/2008 would go on the estate return for the year ended 8/31/2008 (the 2007 estate return). The interest earned for the period 9/1/2008 through 12/31/2008 would go on the estate return for the year ended 8/31/09. You would also include on this return the interest earned for the period 1/1/2009 through 8/31/2009 (which will be a part of the 2009 1099 you get in 2010). The blanket statement that it goes on 2009 (which is the estate's 2008 tax return by the way) is only correct IF no interest was earned prior to 9/1/2008. Makes absolutely no difference whatsoever when you receive the 1099. | |

| Msmith, if you'll read the history tab you'll find that PBinNJ isn't interested in the correct answer, just the easiest answer. Which of course is always to follow Barbara's advice. | |

Never used the history tab before. Why are all your posts that are in the history missing from the discussion? | |
