Can Estate pay the tax on INT that would normally be passed on to heirs on K1?

This is  an initial and final  1041 decedents estate YE 3/31/23.    All assets were disposed of during the year with no gain due to stepped up basis.    The Estate received about $5500 INT 

Normally, I would show the INT as DNI and pass it to the heirs on K1s.   Executor  would prefer to pay the tax on the INT at the estate level (so the 6 heirs do not have to amend their 2022 returns. 

Any issues?

If the YE is 3/31/23, the K-1 items go on the beneficiaries' 2023 tax returns.

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

Hopefully those 2023 returns won't have to be amended quite yet 😜

Charge $5500 to prepare return.  Believe an estate can use accrual method.  Problem solved.
