I prepare income tax returns for decedent’s estates and trusts (i.e. 1041 returns).  A fiduciary of a decedent’s estate (i.e. executor) must file form 1041 (Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts) for a domestic estate that has gross income, for the tax year, of $600 or more.

A fiduciary of a trust (i.e. trustee) must file form 1041, for the trust, if the trust has any taxable income or gross income of $600, or more, for the tax year.

I can also assist you in preparing the state inheritance tax return for the decedent’s estate.  Please call me, at (973) 366-2637, if you need assistance in handling the tax compliance for a decedent’s estate or a trust.
