- Don't sweat it. It's the estate that has to pay the estate taxes
- (i.e., if the estate is worth more than 600,000 in total). The
- only part of the 10-15K you are expecting that will be taxable would
- be any interest or dividend income generated THIS year (assuming
- you get the check this year). If the trustee got you 5% this year
- (not very likely), then you'd only owe taxes on $500-$750, or at most
- something like $250.00.
-
- And, as far as I know, there's no way around it, unless you get the
- trustee to lie to the IRS and tell them they didn't give you anything,
- but I wouldn't expect them to do that.
