My mother passed away in July 2024 with a small estate consisting of assets held in joint accounts, qualified annuities, a trust account (residence was in trust) and an individual account holding 41 shares of stock.
***All the qualified annuities were paid out to the beneficiaries directly and each beneficiary received the corresponding 1099-R.
***The joint accounts passed to the surviving owner upon death.
***The 41 shares of stock were sold in December. The company paid $45 of dividends since the date of death and the gain realized based on DOD basis was $360.
***There were no disbursements made in 2024 to the beneficiaries of trust
As successor trustee is a 1041 required? I believe since taxable income is below $600 it is not, but I am cautious because of the annuities possibly causing IRD.
