My live in boyfriend of 23 years ,and domestic partner ,died in Oct 2008 - He bequeathed his life insurance and pension plan to me ( total about 75K) which I have recd. I am also the executor of the will ( and sole beneficiary) of an estate that consists of nothing but a couple of hundred dollars in the bank. I know I have to file taxes for him for 2008 but he always owes and there will not be enough to pay it - where is the responsibility for what he owes in additional taxes for 2008? - Since there is no other money and no assets in the estate. Also - do I have to apply for a tax id number for the "estate" or do I file under his SS# -
Do I have to pay taxes for the money I recd from being his beneficiary?
Thank you
