no i was not paid for administrating the estate, only received the balance after the attorney's and all other expenses were paid, I received less than 70,000. I have been to the irs site many times, and have found nothing that relates specifically to this kind of case. I have read that the personal representative is responsible to send 1099's to the beneficiary's for the full amount of the settlement, not the net received. do i sent myself a 1099?
is this even reportable to the irs? i am totally confused. thanks for your help.
