I am executor for an estate - the decedent lived in another state, so do I file the estate tax return in the state where I live or where the decedent lived? TurboTax doesn't give me a choice - it only gives me access to my state's return. Do I have to purchase the decedent's state's program on top of what I've already paid for?
You are going to have to check the taxing authorities for the states involved here (Secretary of State, FTB, Division Taxation, etc.) as state law varies.
A return will generally need to be filed in a state where the estate had state-source income (such as from a rental property located in a particular state) and generally where the decedent resided on the date of death.
There are states where a return is required to be filed if a trust or estate is being administered in that state.
