Retirement tax questions

As executor, you must prepare Form 1041 Estate Income Tax Return (TurboTax Business) which will include a Schedule K-1 (Form 1041) for each beneficiary receiving a distribution from the estate and give copy of each beneficiary's Schedule K-1 to the corresponding beneficiary.  As beneficiary,  you'll enter the Schedule K-1 on your individual income tax return using an individual version of TurboTax that supports the entry of Schedules K-1.

On the estate's income tax return, the IRA income is reported as Other Income (Form 1041 line 😎 and on Schedule K-1 box 5 as Other Portfolio and Nonbusiness Income.
