Decedent’s Schedule K-1

If you’re the executor of an estate and have received a decedent’s Schedule K-1, then you have the responsibility to notify the partnership of the name and taxpayer identification number (TIN) of the decedent’s estate if the partnership interest is part of the decedent’s estate. If a decedent died in a prior year and the partnership continues to send the decedent a Schedule K-1 after being notified of the decedent’s death, then you should request that the partnership send a corrected Schedule K-1. If you receive an interest in a partnership by reason of a former partner’s death, you must provide the partnership with your name and TIN. For treatment of partnership income upon the death of a partner, see Pub. 559, Survivors, Executors, and Administrators.
