Estate 1041

My father passed away in April. He had a revocable trust. I am successor trustee. I was wrongly told by his bank that I needed an estate EIN. What I needed was a trust EIN. Do I have to file from 1041 for the estate when the estate has no income? I know normally it would not but since I have the EIN I am not sure. I know I will have to file for the trust.

Estate 1041

Get an EIN for the trust and don't file a 1041 for the estate. If the IRS asks, tell them the estate had no income or expenses.
