My Dad passed away last year, and he managed to put everything in a trust for my sister and I. So closing out his estate was pretty easy, all the remains is selling his house. But...
We filed his last federal taxes, Form 1310 etc., and turns out the IRS owes him $678. As far as we can tell (incl consulting Dad's trust attorney), there is no way they will distribute that refund to his trustees unless it goes through probate. That's way more trouble and cost than $678, so I guess he/we'll be kicking in to Uncle Sam this year. The IRS always gets theirs. Que sera, sera...
