My client inherited a home from his mother when she passed away in 2019.  He then transferred the home into his name and still owns it.  Does the transfer of the home from his mother's estate to him need to be reported as a distribution from the estate on form 1041?

Yes, probably. It's a distribution of principal, not income.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Thank you for the quick reply.  That is what I was thinking, but I wanted a second opinion.
