estate tax return 1041
Estate income versus personal income?
My mother had an IRA, the money was moved the day before she died so it could be used to open her estate account, pay her bills, and mortgage plus funeral expenses. The estate account was opened a week after she passed away. I received a 1099R in her name, (not the estate) with her SSN
not her Federal ID number. Is this taxable income on her personal return? The money went into the estate? Or should it just be entered on the 1041 estate tax return? I do not know where the money in the IRA orginiated from to know what would be taxable. I don’t know if it came from my fathers life insurance when he passed or from when she sold her home.
This money went to pay her bills, mortgage and other expenses for her while the will was in probate.
If the money was moved before she died than it is your mother’s taxable income not the estate’s. But the value of the money will be needed to be included in her estate return as well. The 1041 estate return will be for the income that your mother’s estate earned after her death. As far as taxability of the IRA, unless it’s a Roth IRA, it’s all taxable. And there is a limit as to how much can be put into an IRA on a yearly basis, so it is highly unlikely that the IRA money was from your father’s life insurance or from when your mother sold her house. You used to have to have earned income in order to contribute to an IRA, and life insurance proceeds or sale of a house are not earned income.
