    What's a Form 541?  A state estate income tax?

    Or a state estate tax?

    And what state?

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

    California fiduciary income tax return.  I thought everyone knew that.  I just don't understand the question.  Maybe something was sold, and its value at DOD was less than the decedent's basis, and they want to take a greater loss.

    "California fiduciary income tax return.  I thought everyone knew that."

    I'm dumb Bob. I think a few other states may also use 541 for this.

    I also don't understand the question.
