I know that in Russian we use genitive case for the accusative case of animate masculine and feminine words.
My question is: when I’m doing grammatical analysis of the words, what do I have to write for them? Do I have to write that they are in accusative case, even if I know it’s formed like it is genitive? Or do I have to simply write that it is genitive case?
No, we don't use genitive (or nominative for inanimated nouns) for the accusative. They just look alike. So you must write accusative.
