It’s either a Simple Type Trust means that it flows through to the tax return of the beneficiary of the trust. Now that would be a Simple Trust. And in fact, that trust files a very limited tax return, but really refers to the beneficiary’s tax return.

Now, the opposite of that is what’s called an Irrevocable Trust. That’s a complex trust. So complex trusts do file tax return. They have their own EIN number. They have a separate form from the IRS called a 1041 instead of a 1040. It’s a 1041. Taxes as a result of filing using an irrevocable trust has its own tax tables as well.
