Instructions for Schedule K-1-T (Part 2) — Beneficiary's Share
# Illinois Department of Revenue
Schedule K-1-T(2) Beneficiary's Instructions
# What is the purpose of Schedule K-1-T?
The trust or estate listed on the front of Schedule K-1-T has completed and provided you with the schedule to reflect your share of the trust's or estate's income and modifications. Use the completed schedule and these instructions to help you report the items shown on Schedule K-1-T on your Illinois Income Tax return.
# What must I attach?
You must attach a copy of any Schedule K-1-T you receive from a trust or estate to your tax return. You should also keep a copy for your records.
Note: If you receive a Schedule K-1-T that has "the following information is included in the Schedule K-1-T from __"
(the name of the trust or estate) written at the top, it is a pro forma Schedule K-1-T. The pro forma Schedule K-1-T has been included to aid you in the completion of your return and should not be submitted with your tax return.
# Definitions
• Pass-through entity - the trust or estate that sent you Schedule K-1-T is a pass-through entity.
• Pass-through entity income is the income reported on your Schedule K-1-T.
- Pass-through withholding is the amount paid by the pass-through entity on your behalf. This amount is listed on Line 49 of your Schedule K-1-T. Not everyone who receives a Schedule K-1-T will have pass-through withholding reported. If you are a resident of Illinois or if you submitted Form IL-1000-E, Certificate of Exemption for Pass-through Withholding, to the pass-through entity, then you will not have pass-through withholding reported on your Schedule K-1-T. In this case, you will be responsible for reporting and paying Illinois Income tax on the pass-through income.
- Pass-through Entity (PTE) tax is an amount equal to 4.95 percent (.0495) of the taxpayer's calculated net income for the taxable year paid by a partnership (other than a publicly traded partnership under Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue
Code) or subchapter S corporation who elects to pay the tax for taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2021.
- PTE tax credit is the amount distributed to partners or shareholders by a partnership or S corporation if the election to file and pay PTE tax was made. This amount is reported on Schedule K-1-P.
If a pass-through entity made the election to pay PTE tax, then it passed through to its members both ○the credit for PTE tax it paid and ○each member's distributive share of the PTE tax credit it received from electing pass-through entities in which it is a member.
Note: Investment partnerships may use the PTE tax credit to offset their investment partnership liability, to the extent that such credit would otherwise be distributable to its nonresident partners. See the Form IL-1065 and Schedule K-1-P(1) for more information.
Printed by the authority of the state of Illinois - electronic only - one copy.
A nonresident individual partner of a partnership or S corporation for a taxable year in which the election to pay PTE tax was made shall not be required to file an income tax return under the Illinois Income Tax Act (IITA) for such taxable year if the only source of net income of the individual (or the individual and the individual's spouse in the case of a joint return) is from an entity making the PTE election and the credit allowed to the partner equals or exceeds the individual's liability for the tax imposed under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of the IITA for the taxable year.
# When is pass-through entity income earned?
Pass-through entity income is considered earned on the last day of the pass-through entity's taxable year. Pass-through entity income is not considered received equally throughout the year. The pass-through entity's tax year ending date is listed in the upper right corner of the Schedule K-1-T you received.
# What if I am a Grantor Trust or Disregarded Entity?
If you are a grantor trust or other disregarded entity for federal and Illinois income tax purposes, check the applicable box on Line 8b, enter the name and identification number of the taxpayer that will report the income or loss from your Schedule K-1-T on their tax return, and provide them with a copy of the Schedule K-1-T and a copy of this Schedule K-1-T(2).
# What if I received Schedule K-1-T from a Grantor Trust or Disregarded Entity?
If the grantor trust or disregarded entity checkbox on Line 8b is checked and your name and identification number are listed, report the items from the Schedule K-1-T as if it were provided to you by the taxpayer in Step 1.
What if I believe the trust or estate has made an error or did not provide all the required information on my Schedule K-1-T?
Do not change any items on your copy. You should notify the trust or estate and ask for a corrected Schedule K-1-T if you believe the trust or estate
- has made an error on your Schedule K-1-T, or
- did not provide all the required information. Required information includes not only the information listed in Steps 3 through 7, but also the trust's or estate's tax year ending and the identifying information requested in Step 1 and 2. If you submit an incomplete Schedule K-1-T to the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR), it may not be accepted and you may be notified to request a corrected Schedule K-1-T from the trust or estate.
# What does Column A represent?
Column A represents your specific share of the trust's or the estate's income and modifications. The trust or estate is required to complete this column if any part of the trust's or estate's income was paid, credited, or distributed, or deemed to have been paid, credited, or distributed by the trust or estate to you. If you were a resident of Illinois on the last day of the trust's or estate's taxable year, all amounts in Column A must be included as income, modifications, and credits allocated to Illinois. If you were a resident of Illinois on the last day of the trust's or estate's tax year, and you are claiming a credit for taxes paid to another state, see "What does Column B represent" below.
# What does Column B represent?
Column B represents the portion of Column A that is allocated or apportioned to Illinois. If you were not a resident of Illinois on the last day of the trust's or estate's tax year, be sure the amounts reported in Column B are included in the Illinois amounts reported on your

Line 51 — This is your share of taxable gains attributable to transactions subject to the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act surcharge. Use this information when calculating the surcharge on your return.
See the instructions below and the instructions for the return you are filing for more information.
Definitions related to the Surcharge —
Organization registrant means a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company (LLC), or other organization that holds either a medical cannabis cultivation center registration issued by the Illinois Department of Agriculture or a medical cannabis dispensary registration issued by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
Transactions subject to the surcharge means sales and exchanges of
- capital assets;
- depreciable business property;
- real property used in the trade or business; and
- Section 197 intangibles of an organization registrant.
What is the surcharge?
For each taxable year beginning or ending during the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program, a surcharge is imposed on all taxpayers on income arising from the transactions subject to the surcharge of an organization registrant under the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act.
The amount of the surcharge is equal to the amount of federal income tax liability for the taxable year attributable to the transactions subject to the surcharge.
To whom does the surcharge apply?
The surcharge is imposed on any taxpayer who incurs a federal income tax liability on the income realized on a "transaction subject to the surcharge," including individuals and other taxpayers who are not themselves the "organization registrant" that engaged in the transaction.
A beneficiary who incurs a federal income tax liability on income from a transaction subject to surcharge distributed by a trust or estate will incur a surcharge.
Note: Although a unitary business group filing combined Illinois returns is treated as a single taxpayer and its members are jointly and severally liable for any surcharge imposed on the group, the group itself is not an organization registrant and transactions of any member that is not itself an organization registrant are not subject to the surcharge.
How do I use the amount reported on Line 51?
The amount reported on Line 51 identifies your share of any federal income attributable to transactions subject to the surcharge.
The trust or estate listed in Step 1 should have also provided you with a breakdown itemizing any amount reported on Line 51.

Note: The amount on Line 51 identifies taxable gains attributable to transactions subject to the surcharge, not federal income tax liability for the taxable year attributable to the transactions subject to the surcharge. Exclude this income before figuring the federal income tax amount on Line 2 of the worksheet.
For more information, see 86 Ill. Adm. Code Section 100.2060. Line 52 — This is your share of taxable gains attributable to transactions subject to the surcharge on the sale of assets by gaming licensee. Use this information when calculating the surcharge on your return.

A beneficiary who incurs a federal income tax liability on income from a transaction subject to surcharge distributed by a trust or estate will incur a surcharge.
Note: Although a unitary business group filing combined Illinois returns is treated as a single taxpayer and its members are jointly and severally liable for any surcharge imposed on the group, the group itself is not a gaming licensee and transactions of any member that is not itself a gaming licensee are not subject to the surcharge.
