WHAT IS AN ESTATE?

An estate is a legal entity that is created when an individual passes away.  It is comprised of real estate and/or personal possessions of the deceased individual.  The personal possessions include anything of value that the deceased individual owned, such as artworks, antiques, investments, insurance, etc.  The estate pays any liabilities owed by the deceased individual.  Then the contents of the estate are distributed to the beneficiaries (regardless of whether or not there is a will).

DO YOU REQUIRE AN IRS ESTATE TAX ID NUMBER?

The Internal Revenue Service requires all estates to obtain an estate tax ID number, or an estate employer identification number.


When someone dies, all their assets become property of the estate.  Any income generated by these assets (such as savings accounts, certificates of deposit, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, rental property, etc.) are also part of the estate.  If the estate generates more than $600 in annual gross income, IRS Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts, must be completed and filed with the Internal Revenue Service.  Before this filing can be done, the estate must obtain an EIN number.


For calendar year estates, file IRS Form 1041 and Schedule K-1 on or before April 15 of the following year.  For fiscal year estates, file Form 1041 by the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the tax year.


* Please note that if you use the funds within an estate to create a trust, the trust is considered a separate legal entity and therefore you must also apply for a trust employer identification number.
