If you are not in the business of being an executor and you only did it once then line 21 is the correct place ( of course for 2018 the forms have changed but the concept is the same)
You can report it as
other income on Form 1040 line 21. Here's how to enter it in TurboTax.
·
Click the Federal
Taxes tab ( Personal in the Home & Business version)
·
Click Wages &
Income. (Personal income in the H & B version)
·
On the screen
"Your 2017 Income Summary," scroll all the way down to the last
section, "Less Common Income."
·
Click the Start or
Update button for the last topic, "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A,
1099-C."
·
On the next screen,
"Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income," scroll down and click the
Start or Update button for the last topic, "Other reportable income."
·
The next screen asks,
"Did you receive any other taxable income." Click Yes.
·
On the next screen,
"Other Taxable Income," enter a description and the amount. Click
Continue.
·
On the next screen
click Done.
The income will be
reported on Form 1040 line 21 with the description that you entered.
