A trust is for income earned by the estate after the date of death until the assets are distributed to the heirs.
If this income is over $600 a trust return is required to be filed.
I would suggest you discuss this with the Atty handling the Estate.
If you do a trust return you will need a separate Employer Indetifnaction Number (EIN) and also determine which tax year you will be using as year-end (as it many times is not 12/31 as it is for individuals).
You also must use TurboTax Business Software to do 1041. https://turbotax.intuit.com/small-business-taxes/
