New Jersey Inheritance Tax is based on who specifically will receive or has received a decedent’s assets, and how much each beneficiary is entitled to receive. NJ Treasury

TurboTax doesn't support the form. The executor, administrator, or heir-at-law of the estate must file an Inheritance Tax return (if required) within eight (8) months of the date of the decedent's death. If tax is due, the tax also must be paid on the transfer of taxable real or personal property within eight (8) months of the date of the decedent’s death.

So we were a class D, which means we would have to pay but I’ve read that somethings the executor pays the tax prior to you receiving the check. How do you know if that was done? Should I receive a 1099? And how long do I wait to see if I get one?

Class D beneficiaries are taxed at 15% on bequests up to $700,000, with a rate of 16% for amounts above $700,000. The executor, administrator, or heir at law is the one to file the New Jersey Estate tax return. The Form IT-R computes the tax on each class and the payment of tax must be made with the form. The guidance of who actually pays for the taxes would probably be written in the will.

You could certainly ask for a copy of the IT-R. Once the estate tax is filed and paid, you would not get an 1099 to include on your return since the tax for it was already paid.
