Estate return filing

I am the executor of my Aunt's estate who passed away 2017, the will is still in probate so technically I have not been appointed but will be. In looking at filing the return for the state (1041) it asked if I am a beneficiary and asked if there are others, again there is no distribution yet as the will is still in probate so how do I answer and show any of her 1099's etc. or do I wait and file in 2018?

I was told by one answer that since I know I will be appointed to file anyway which is fine but I will NOT be distributing anything to beneficiaries yet so do I list all of the beneficiaries on this return and issue a K1 to them or wait until the following year return when the distributions are made to do so, I do not have their social security #'s do leave those blank?
