Question
Refund of deceased taxpayer needs to go to trust, not estate
I have a deceased taxpayer who had a trust. Final return (1040) of the taxpayer resulted in a refund. The check from the original return came to "Estate of Taxpayer Name". However, the bank would not cash it because there's a difference between an Estate and a Trust. I am now amending the return for something else. How do I get the refund check to come to the Trust of the deceased taxpayer rather than to the Estate?
