This webinar covers minor points such as what information you’ll need to collect and when to get an EIN, as well as substantial discussions of essential topics, such as developing an inventory and estate accounting, allocating income between form 1040 and form 1041, and filing your client’s final form 1040.

  • Identify best practices for working closely with legal counsel

  • List main property law concepts

  • Identify complex community property issues

  • Determine best methods for filing special forms: form SS-4, form 56, form 4810, form 5495
