Filing taxes on an estate and/or individual

[Sharon Pierre]

My sister passed away this year. I am executor and beneficiary. Do I have to file both an individual and estate?

There is a threshold for being required to file an income tax return for an estate (gross income for the tax year of $600 or more).
