decedent final return: need to file 1096?

Mar 01, 2008 0 Replies

My mother died last year. I am executor for her estate, and I'm working on her final return (1040). Some of the 1099's for her accounts include interest paid after her death. (ie, the payer just issued a single 1099 for the year.) The amount involved is about $5K.



The interest in question went to her estate, and will be reported on the estate return. Do I need to file a 1096 and 1099-INT for with the IRS in this situation?



TIA, George
