Since all the income was distributed to the beneficiary, it will show up on the schedule K-1 that will be issued to him from the estate. So, he will end up putting the taxable income on his personal tax return and will pay the tax using his personal tax rates, that may well be less than the estate tax rates. So what you describe sounds reasonable.
