the trust final 1041 was filed in 2021....I received an unexpected award settlement in summer 2024 and now I have received a 2024 int-1099 pertaining to this....I deposited the check into the trust acct which I have not closed yet....the check was made out to the trust, the 1099 recipient is also the trust....do I need to file and pay tax..
also the award was in response to claiming it as an heir to the deceased.......or do I file again and claim deduction or exemption since I am an heir....
