No 1041, just the 1040. There's virtually no income for the estate in 2020.
I'm simply interested in making sure that the estate receives the refund without any issues. I'm the sole beneficiary as well as the personal representative of the estate so it really doesn't matter whether it is made out to me or the estate. However, I was asking about 1310 because I have seen some people, including some accountants, claim that you must fill out 1310 regardless of whether or not I'm the court appointed rep. This just seems to contradict the instructions at the end of the form that state that a court appointed personal representative does not have to fill out 1310, but must attach a copy of the court order with the return. I was just worried as to whether there was some kind of recent change to the law, or if this is merely a case of submitting the 1310 as a failsafe. In the end, it's only an extra couple of pages...
