1099 c income after death
My father died in sept of 15 . I did not file a final tax return because his income was low enough that it was not required.
I received a 1099c today dated dec of 16 for 21000 on a credit card he did not pay . He did not have assets to speak of except a life ins policy left to me for 20000
Do I need to file a tax return for this 21000 and am I liable ?

Retirement tax questions
Certain estate property is exempt from income tax levies. This includes the proceeds of life insurance policies, workers' comp and unemployment benefits, and a limited amount of household goods, clothing, tools, books, furniture and real property. If an estate has insufficient non-exempt assets, then the administrator can negotiate with the IRS to reduce the lien. If, however, the administrator transfers assets to heirs without paying tax liabilities, then the IRS (and state tax agencies) will come after the administrator, personally, for the back taxes.

In that case there is no reason to file a tax return with the IRS.
