do I file a 1041 for a nominee trust? if so, IRS says not to use EINs for nominees, so do I use my ssn instead as trustee?

Do you have a nominee trust or a grantor trust?

 

A nominee trust is typically established to hold title to real estate and is disregarded for federal income tax purposes (i.e., a separate return, such as a 1041, is not required).

It’s a Nominee Trust. It was used to hold a real estate property and was sold in 2019. So if no 1041 where would I report the gains?

On your individual income tax return (Form 1040).
