depending on the worth of the estate and other situations ( income received after the death of the decedent, you may have to file a final federal and state tax return in 2018 -- tax year 2017 filing , and Estate return ( generally within 9 months from the passing of the decedent -- federal and state ) -- Federal requirement is 5 Million but the State can be different e.g. MN is 2 Million and if you have to file the state Estate then you also have to file a Federal one -- does this cryptic points make sense or do you need more detailed explanation ?
