I am the only beneficiary and when we sold the house the proceeds went directly to me NOT to the estate
The value of the home at the time of death and at the time of sale is the same and the home was owned for over 40 years so we were told by attorney there is no capital gain.
rhe only thing that was in the estate was $800 as all other accounts were joint with me. The home and one account were the estate but the funds from the sale never were in the estate account as attorney said it was perfectly fine to distribute to the beneficiary/executor.
so having said this would I still need to do an estate return or can I claim it all on my personal taxes.
