Don't be so sure. I purchased my HP 2035 several years ago when it first came out and got it at a bargain price. Last year I started looking for a replacement of same model for backup just because I have a supply of toner cartridges for this machine; and also really like it. I had to pay as much for a new one today as I did back then. In any case, have insurance sitting on the shelf in my storage room. When the busy season hits is no time to be shopping for a printer.

The "don't appear to be too trusting of each other" part of your reply is definitely a red flag. All the more reason to do everything strictly by the book.

Can't do this as one lives in NC and the other is in Alabama. As for the other comments, the beneficiaries due to pay the tax as Roberts has stated that income passing through to them is very routine. The estate is NOT closed but according to the will these are the only two beneficiaries awarded anything. These brother don't appear to be too trusting of each other which is why I questioned this and will not proceed until I have the permission to do so. Thanks,

I would ask my client if I could answer brother's questions. In fact, brother most likely has tried to get answers from your client, and we all know he can't explain it like you can. Your client may have told brother to call you, who knows? I would be happy to answer questions about a return I prepared, as I'm sure you are, Terry. I would also ask client if you can give a copy of the Form 1041 to brother. That way, brother's preparer can look it over. I would want to know where the info on my K-1 came from, too. Possibly just having a copy of the Form 1041 would remedy the whole situation. Regardless, I'd talk to client first and get a feel for whether there is discord here, or just a simple desire to understand something that affects my tax return.
