No. Don't amend your 2016 return yet.
There are two issues to consider:
- For what year is the executor filing the estate return?
- If they are filing a 2016 return for the estate, then amend your 2016 return when you get the distribution.
- If they are filing a 2018 return, include the K-1 in your 2018 return (see below).
When will the funds be disbursed?
- Contact the executor of the estate and ask when he/she plans to distribute the bond interest. It should be soon since they filed the estate tax return saying that the distribution has already been made.
- If you receive the distribution before you file your 2018 return, include the K-1.
- If you haven't received the distribution by the time you file your 2018 return, do not include the K-1 information in your return. You can amend your 2018 return when you receive the funds.
