An estate and trust tax return is a return filed via Form 1041 for estates and trusts. It is required to be filed for all estates and trusts whose gross income exceeds $600.

A 1041 must also be filed whenever there is a beneficiary of an estate or trust who is a nonresident alien or if the trust held a qualified investment in a qualified opportunity fund at any time during the year.

An estate and trust tax return is a return for tax on income earned by a trust or estate. It is filed via Form 1041.
