@jp2025 so sorry for your loss.
It all depends how the estate was set up and if there was a Trust.
A 1099-S would most likely have been reported to the executor only in the name of the Estate. It is only prepared if the sales price is in excess of 250k for an individual ($500k married couple).
If the assets were in a Trust, it is possible there is nothing for you to report as the TRUST itself may have reported it all and no filings would then be needed for taxes to you. A TRUST can be simple or complex. If complex, the TRUST may or may not distribute Net income. In a simple Trust you would get a k-1. In a complex Trust you may/ may not get a k-1.
If no Trust, an estate tax return only is generated if there is more than $600 in gross income. The trustee would file a form 1041.
Since you inherited stepped up basis upon date of death, there should be no material gain/loss unless it was an extended time frame.
The executor though is required to give you an accounting of your assets and was also required to do a reading of the will.
I hope this helps.
