A filled-in Form 2G example: a grantor reports trust income

Form 2G example filled out, example: a grantor reports trust income
Jane Sample, a grantor, files Form 2G for her trust. The trust earned 1200 in dividends and 300 in other interest in calendar year 2025. The picture shows page 1 only, and none of its entries is real. The trust has a federal ID number, so Social Security/ITIN stays empty. No line is a loss and no paid preparer signs, so Lines 1 to 7 loss boxes and the paid preparer boxes stay empty.
