Hey all! Here's my situation. My mother died April 2020. Had nothing to her name except credit card debt and a home. I am the executor. Home is being put into my name but nothing more is being done.
I sold some things of hers and used that money to pay the credit card debt, but it wasn't enough to cover it all, hence the 1099-C(debt was $5400 and I was able to gather and pay about $3800 for the estate). So now that difference is being treated as income for my mother. There was no other money distributed to anyone for anything from the estate, zero balance right now.
Step-father took care of filing her final tax return when she passed and I have not had to file any returns for the estate until now, tax year 2022. What do I do? There is no money left in the estate, like I said it was all used for this debt. I'm clueless how to file this. I do have a EIN for the estate just don't know what to do.
