Where do I put the fee I received as estate executor?

I was not employed and only received Social security and an executor’s fee from my mother’s estate. I cannot figure out where to put the executor fee on income.

You do not mention how much you were paid as an executor.  You might not need to file a tax return if Social Security and the executor fee were your only income.  (Unless you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance).

 

Is the estate issuing a tax document to you for the fee you received?

 

Who has to file?

You need to file a federal return if half your Social Security plus your other income is $25,000 when filing single or head of household, or $32,000 when filing married filing jointly, $0 if you are filing married filing separately.
