Since the money your received from your father was cash in his various accounts it is not reportable income to you or anyone you distributed the income to. The income in his checking account, savings account, money market account or stock account are all after tax dollars so they are not taxable income to the beneficiaries. Things that the estate would need to report is if he left a house or retirement accounts that are not Roth. If all he left were cash accounts then the form 1041 is not required to be filed.
If you do need to file the form 1041 it typically it is required within 9 months of the date of death.
