@JimmyH1 if you are correct as to what the executor did, you along with the other beneficiaries need to consult with a lawyer. the executor totally mishandled the reporting of the post-mortem sales and cash out of the iRA. they proabably should be replaced but that is a legal issue not a tax issue. what the excutor did could come back to haunt the benficiaries not to mention any tax penalties that could be asserted against the executor (and estate that could end up coming out of the beneficiaries pocket).
