 Where an individual is engaged in business or profession in partner~ ship with others, 8 partnership re. turn (Form 1065) must be filed for the partnership.

This net income Cor loSs) is shown in item g, and an explana- tion, with reference to the partner ship, must be shown in Schedule c (3) on page of the return.
 In the case of trust funds set up for beneficiaries, an income tax re- turn CF'orm 104I is required to be filed by the trustee or f1iduciary; the distributable portion of income is, however, nontaxable to the fiduciary, but must be reported in the indi- vidual income tax return of the ben- eficiary or beneficiaries, together with an explanation Gin Schedule c (3) of the source.
