1099-R forms represent money paid out of a retirement account. That is money that was not taxed while your father was alive and you do need to pay taxes on it now that he has passed.
You've got a couple of options for how to handle this. The easiest is - IF YOU ARE THE ONLY BENEFICIARY - to just put these 1099-Rs on your personal return. When you enter them into TurboTax you will have to indicate that they were paid to a different EIN than your social security number. But they will just be taxed as income to you since that is what they are.
If you are not the sole beneficiary then you should file a form 1041 for the estate showing all of the income that way. Then the estate can pay the taxes due or you can transfer the money through K1s to your and the other beneficiaries tax returns.
