the deceased date was may2024 and I am trying to decide about calendar year vs fiscal year tax filing for the future...fiscal filing goes from may 2024 -april 2025 ? does that mean I report dividends paid for this whole period now on my 2024 tax filing ....and how can I report dividends for the period jan2025-apr 2025 without a 1099-div.....I have court fees from dec 2024 and jan 2025 and I thought if I went for the fiscal year, I could deduct them both....is this a bad idea since the 1099-div are issued at year end...
