How much does an estate have to make to file taxes?

You or a joint fiduciary file Form 1041 for the estate every year if the estate has gross income of $600 or more or if one or more of the beneficiaries of the estate are nonresident aliens, you must file Form 1041. This is true even if the gross income of the estate is less than $600.

If the gross estate of an Illinois resident has a value of more than $4 million, the personal representative or executor of the estate must file a state estate tax return. (Smaller estates wont need to file a return.)

The federal estate and gift tax exemption is $13.99 million per individual in 2025, and will increase to $15 million in 2026 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This new exemption level is permanent and will be adjusted annually for inflation starting in 2027.
