undefinedWhat is the name of your state? TX
I lost my father on Jan 6, 2005 and my mother on Jan 26, 2005. At the time I had filed for my mother the life insurance for my dad's death. By the time all the paperwork was done, my mother had passed away. Now I have filed the paperwork on my mother's life insurance. The insurance is telling me I have to have an estate account (which I do) for my mother and father, but I also need a TIN number. What is the need for this? How do I fill out this form? I pulled a SS-4 form from the irs site and am totally confused. The estate is worth less than $100,000. Is this really necessary?
