pcmcpa Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Taxpayer passed away in 2010. His W-2 has wages of $50,000.00 in box 1, $1,500 of which is vacation pay paid to his widow subsequent to his death so this would need to go on the Form 1041. I just opened the Line 7 box and added "Vacation Pay paid after death transferred to Form 1041 - $1,500.00 on one of the blank lines. Planning on attaching the line 7 detail to the return. Is this the proper way to handle this? I don't want a letter saying the W-2s don't match the return. Thank you in advance for your help.
