This income is reported on Form 1041 line 8, Other Income.  It's also reported in box 5 of the beneficiary's Schedule K-1 (Form 1041) for taxation on the beneficiary's individual tax return.  Capital losses will be passed through separately in box 3 or 4 as appropriate.

 

It was a mistake to have taxes withheld.  The credit for tax withholding cannot be passed through on the Schedule K-1, so the estate will need to receive any tax refund it is due and will pay that to the beneficiary when it is received.
