What does 1041 K-1 final year deductions mean?

Expenses in excess of taxable income at the Estate or Trust level may be passed out pro rata to the Beneficiaries. The amount shown on K-1 Part III Line 11 carries to the beneficiary individual return, Schedule A. This may yield a tax benefit, subject to a reduction by 2% of AGI, and further subject to whether total itemized deductions exceed the Standard Deduction. It is worth going through the exercise, unless there are no other itemized deductons.
