Inheritance & Estate
“As the executor, what federal or state estate filings do I need?”
As executor, the filing picture often depends on the size and composition of the estate, the state where the decedent lived, and whether assets pass through probate or by beneficiary designation. Federal estate filings are not always required, and state-level requirements can vary widely, especially when there is real estate, retirement accounts, business interests, or prior gifts to account for. In many cases, the estate may also need final income tax returns and separate fiduciary or estate income filings if assets continue to earn income during administration. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
