Get your taxes done using TurboTax

An income tax deduction is allowed to the recipient for the estate tax paid on the income. The deduction for estate tax paid can only be claimed for the same tax year in which the income in respect of a decedent must be included in the recipient's income. Per IRS Pub 559, page 12. (As provided by our awesome Tax Expert @HelenC12).
