A simple question.  When filing a form 56 for the estate of a decedent, In part I, Identification: Do you enter both the EIN of the estate in the Identifying number box and his/her SSN in the Decedent's social security no. box?
This is specifically for the Estate 1041 not the individuals 1040.

Just the EIN of the estate:

Identifying number.

If you are acting for an individual, an individual debtor, or other person whose assets are controlled, the identifying number is the social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). If you are acting for a person other than an individual, the identifying number is the employer identification number (EIN).
