how to file 1041

[ridethetren]

My mother passed away this year, my father died 7 years ago. They had a revocable trust and I was the successor trustee. I completely distributed assets in 4 months. I'm now looking at the 1041 form and instructions and haven't a clue as to the entity type and what would I get an EIN for. Do I have to set up a new trust just to file the 1041? When it talks about Grantor trusts, is it referring to the revocable trust they had, or something else I'm supposed to set up? Thanks for any clarification on this issue.
