I have a grantor trust. What type of trust does it become when I die?
When the grantor of a grantor (living) trust dies, the trust becomes irrevocable. This means that any income earned by the trust after the date of death is reported by the trust on Form 1041. Likely the trust will need to obtain an employer identification number (EIN) but the grantor trust probably was using the grantor’s Social Security number.

Itemized deductions
Items, such as interest, state and local income and sales taxes, charitable contributions, and medical deductions, claimed on Schedule A of Form 1040. Itemized deductions are subtracted from adjusted gross income to arrive at taxable income. The amount of itemized deductions is also subject to a reduction when adjusted gross income exceeds certain limits.
