My condolences on the loss of your parents.

Executor/ estate administration income goes on line 21 of Form 1040. Here's how to get it there in our online version:

  • Federal Taxes, Wages and Income
  • scroll down to very last category- Less Common Income
  • click the last category of that -Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
  • Once again, the last option- Other Reportable Income
  • Say "Yes" to enter Executor's Fees to enter on next screen

In the desktop version of Turbo Tax, type "Executor" in the search box in the top right- The Jump to Executor's Fees pops up.
