Is the amount of checking account funds in a decedents account considered income to the decedents' estate checking account on 1041?     when a single person dies their checking account is closed and a new estate checking account is created.    in the transfer of funds, is that considered income to the estate?

No, the transfer is NOT considered income to the estate for federal income tax purposes.
