Form 1041 - PR filing Estate Income Tax Return for Deceased

caroll1 — Sat, 11 Apr 2020 22:34:23 GMT

I am the Personal Representative for my Mother's Estate. She died 2/17/19. Only assets are home and car. NO income from bank account, CD's, anything.

I created EIN to obtain a bank account to put $$ from sale of car/house. IRS says I need to file Form 1041 by 4/15/2020. (July 15,2020 due to COVID)

The house just sold on April 6, 2020 and the car is now FOR SALE.

Do I need to file form 1041 for 2019? and 2020? or do I just file in 2020 with the income from the house sale and car? 2 beneficiaries to create Schedule K-1s for 2020.

The trust would only be required to file a 1041 for 2019 if the trust had any taxable income for the tax year or gross income of $600 or more for the tax year (and it appears as if neither is applicable for 2019).

For the 2020 tax year, the trust will have to file a 1041 if it meets either of the two criteria mentioned above or if the trust receives a tax reporting statement for the sale of the house (e.g., 1099-S) or sale of the car (e.g., 1099-MISC.
