I am the executor for my mother-in-law's estate. The only asset is her home, which was valued at $168,000 at the time of her death. She has lived in this home for 40 years and is a widow. She has filed no tax returns for many years since she received less than $20,000 a year from VA benefits and a small retirement. She died on 9/20/20 and the home was sold on 12/18/20. I was told I needed to file a 1041. What is the basis for the property, and will there be any tax implications?
