My dad passed away October 2023 but we had two accounts that stayed active until mid 2024. I filed his taxes at the end of 2023 thinking that would be the last and any new income would be placed on our 1099 but it was recorded in his name. So I just completed the 1041 for his estate, but I am confused about the Schedule K-1and the Schedule B Income Distribution Deduction Section. Is the Schedule K-1 and the Schedule B only used if you record the income on your own 1040 and since we did not, I just enter zeros in that section so the full amount will be taxed on his 1041 Estate Return. Should I include Schedule K-1 with my return even if that section contains zeros? Thank you for any help you can provide.
