FAQs

When will I stop receiving Form T from IRAS?

IRAS will stop sending Forms T to the executor/administrator/trustee when all income producing  assets of the estate are no longer registered in the name of the deceased or held in trust for the beneficiaries.

I am one of the beneficiaries and I have already declared the estate's income in my personal tax return. Why do you still send Form T to me?

You only need to declare your share of the income in your Form B1 under 'Other Income'. As a trustee, you are required to declare the whole amount of the estate's taxable income from all sources under the Form T.

The estate/trust has been fully distributed. Why do I still need to file Form T this year?

A Form T has to be filed for income derived by the executor/trustee up to the date the income source ceased.
