Reporting Excess Deductions on Termination of an Estate or Trust on
Forms 1040, 1040-SR, and 1040-NR for Tax Year 2018 and Tax Year
2019
Under Proposed Regulations 113295-18, an excess deduction on termination of an estate or
trust allowed in arriving at adjusted gross income (Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 67(e)
expenses) is reported as an adjustment to income on Forms 1040, 1040-SR, and 1040-NR;
non-miscellaneous itemized deductions are reported, as applicable, on Schedule A (Form 1040
or 1040-SR) or Schedule A (Form 1040-NR); and miscellaneous itemized deductions are not
deductible. Taxpayers may rely on the proposed regulations for tax years of beneficiaries
beginning after 2017 and before the final regulations are published.
For tax year 2019, an excess deduction for IRC section 67(e) expenses is reported as a
write-in on Schedule 1 (Form 1040 or 1040-SR), Part II, line 22, or Form 1040-NR, line 34.
On the dotted line next to line 22 or line 34 (depending on which form is filed), enter the
amount of the adjustment and identify it using the code “ED67(e)”. Include the amount of
the adjustment in the total amount reported on line 22 or line 34.
For tax year 2018, an excess deduction for IRC section 67(e) expenses is reported as a
write-in on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 36, or Form 1040-NR, line 34. On the dotted line
next to line 36 or line 34, (depending on which form is filed), enter the amount of the
adjustment and identify it using the code “ED67(e)”. Include the amount of the adjustment in
the total amount reported on line 36 or line 34.
