Simplify your estate and trust returns

Increase efficiency with full flexibility for allocating and presenting deductions.

Handle complex fiduciary tax scenarios


Our Fiduciary Tax system simplifies the preparation of estate and trust returns, offering extensive features to manage all types of fiduciary returns efficiently, whether you’re working on a simple trust, decedent’s estate or custodial/agency account.  

  • Specialized trusts
    Handle a variety of trusts, including simple trusts, complex trusts, decedent’s estates, bankruptcy estates, grantor trusts (including multi-state grantor trusts and partial grantor trusts), custodial/agency accounts, qualified funeral trusts, and electing small business trusts. Also includes split interest trusts including charitable lead trusts, grantor charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder annuity trusts, charitable remainder unitrust and pooled income funds. Form 1040-NR lets you generate a foreign trust return in the 1041 system.
  • Flexible allocation options
    Allows for specific allocation of income classes, certain deductions and credits to selected beneficiaries, along with separate distribution of depreciation and depletion - or inclusion with related income amounts. Distribution options include first and second tier beneficiary allocations, per-beneficiary distributions, and the Section 663(b) (65-day) election. Methods for allocating deductions include pro rata to all classes of income, in a specific order, and specific deductions to species classes of income.
  • Comprehensive computations
    Extensive calculations for Form 1116 (Foreign Tax Credit) and Form 8960 (Net Investment Income Tax). Calculates federal and selected state NOL. Distributes income based on amounts, decimals or a combination of both. If you have a cemetery perpetual care fund, we will calculate line 18 in accordance with IRC section 642(i) which allows for the deduction of $5 per gravesite for maintenance of cemetery property.
  • Efficient data management
    Import and export oil & gas/depletion data to/from Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets and minimize data entry with an intuitive worksheet interface.

Smart and powerful

  • Powerful K-1 options

  • Comprehensive state functionality
    Complete multi-state processing for nonresident returns, including the computation of credit for taxes paid to non-resident states. Drill down to individual items to ensure itemized calculation accuracy.
  • Flexible output
    Provides an option to create a beneficiary tax information letter in conjunction with a Schedule K-1. Produces tax information letters for grantors, custodial/agency accounts and non-resident beneficiaries. Creates detailed statements supporting all deduction allocations.
  • Powerful tax compliance
Rachel Taylor discusses how CCH Axcess helps JamisonMoneyFarmer provide efficient tax services
I have worked with a couple other tax prep softwares a little bit over the years, and I didn't feel like they were as powerful. They couldn't handle some of the tax returns that we do, because they just weren't meant for that. But I haven't found anything really that CCH Axcess Tax can't handle.
