Recipient Identification Number on the Form-1099-R is my husband's EIN number not SSN. I fully intend to file form 1041 this year if that is what I should do. His estate should get a $600 exemption on Line 20 on Form 1041 leaving only $300 to pay tax on. Should I have the estate pay tax on $300 or give it all to myself and pay tax on the extra $300 on my own return?
