We recently received a small inheritance from a relative that died. When the estate was all settled, the lawyer sent us a check, a summary of how the amount was calculated, and a K-1 form. The only amount on the K-1 form is in 11A, Excess Deductions. From what I can see, this goes on my Schedule A on line 23. However, the amount will not exceed the % from my net income that sets the lower limit in that section. The K-1 is a 2010 form, with the dates 11/1/10 ending 6/30/11. I assume this goes on my 2011 return Schedule A and I don't have to adjust my 2010 return. Do I also need to put the inheritance in somewhere as income? There isn't any form here indicating they gave that amount to the IRS. Do I need to attach a copy of the K-1 (1041) to my 2011 return?
