Money received from estate

I received $20,000 from my brother's estate for expenses I paid out to help my father (the executor of the estate, and payer of the money) settle the estate. Is that taxable income? Do I need to report it?

If you simply received reimbursement from the estate for estate expenses that you initially paid, that's not reportable income.
