Does an estate have to file a tax return?

An estate tax return (Form 706) must be filed if the gross estate of the decedent (who is a U.S. citizen or resident), increased by the decedents adjusted taxable gifts and specific gift tax exemption, is valued at more than the filing threshold for the year of the decedents death, as shown in the table below.

Do I need to file an estate tax return in Maryland?

Filing the Estate Tax Return: If the estate exceeds the exemption threshold, the executor must file an estate tax return with the Maryland Comptrollers Office. The return must be filed within 9 months of the decedents date of death.

Do beneficiaries pay taxes on estate distributions?

Its also possible for beneficiaries to owe tax if the estate generates more than $600 in gross income during administration, triggering an IRS filing requirement. In such instances, estates may pass that income to beneficiaries via Schedule K-1, which reports the amount each person must include on their tax return.

How do I file a deceased persons Maryland tax return?
