Are Payments Made to a Trust or Estate Reportable on a 1099?
October 30, 2025
Q. This is from a donor property which has 20% going to a trust and the rest to the University.
My question is, would the 20% portion paid to the estate be reportable on a 1099? We are in process of setting up vendor now. Payment will be made to a the trust.

If the payment is otherwise reportable on a 1099, then you would report to a trust. There is no exception to reporting for trusts or estates.
