Posted by tobe on February 7, 2008, 5:35 pm Please log in for more thread options In February 2006, I responded by phone to a letter from the IRS asking about a "missing" Form 1041 Estate tax return for 2004 for my dad's estate. Even though I was not the executor of his estate (my mom was: she died in 2004) [which made the agent very reluctant to deal with me], I was able to get him to look up the 2002 tax return which, indeed, had the Final Return box checked. He stated that the account would be closed and I should receive no further communication from them on this. Now I have received a set of Forms 1041-ES for my dad's estate for 2008! How should I deal with this? -- << ------------------------------------------------------- >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. >> << >> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts >> << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy >> << are at www.asktax.org. >> << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. >> << ------------------------------------------------------- >> Posted by Harlan Lunsford on February 7, 2008, 6:22 pm Please log in for more thread options tobe wrote: > In February 2006, I responded by phone to a letter from the IRS asking > about a "missing" Form 1041 Estate tax return for 2004 for my dad's > estate.

Provided of course there IS no income relative to that "closed" estate.
