Executor fees are entered in this way:

  • Income & Wages
  • Less common income
  • Miscellaneous income....start/update
  • Other reportable income
  • Any other taxable income...includes executor fees as one of the examples.  Say yes here & you'll be able to enter the income on the next screen.  Use a description such as "executor fee for Estate of John Smith " and the amount.


This amount will appear on line 6 of Form 1040 which comes from the Schedule 1 line 21.
