I don't mind being informed when wrong, but the key point still is,
The taxpayer can't file a 2022 tax return in the father's name, using the father's SSN. If the sale of the house is not going to be reported by the child/heir, it needs to be reported by the estate, and the estate needs an EIN, and estate files a form 1041 instead of form 1040. Or do you also disagree with that?
There certainly could be more legal nuance to whether the estate must report the income, the child must report the income, or the child has an option. If I went too far, I'll try and learn from that. But the income can't be reported in the father's name, it could be reported by the estate or the child/heir, depending on other factors.
