Inheritance & Estate
“I'm the executor of an estate, what do I need to file?”
Serving as executor often involves a mix of estate tax, income tax, and state filing questions, and the exact forms can depend on the estate’s assets, whether the decedent had final wages, retirement accounts, or investment income, and whether a separate estate tax return is involved. In many cases, the personal representative also has to consider final individual income tax filings, fiduciary income tax reporting for the estate, and records showing assets, debts, and distributions. The answer can vary with probate requirements, account ownership, and whether the estate continued to earn income after death. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
