Does an Illinois estate have to file a 1041 and schedule K, if the estate has not paid out to beneficiaries but interest and dividend income earned?

There were no tax filings for 4 years and income was earned each year and final estate distribution will happen this year.

Distributions don't determine filing status, but receiving income does.  Unless the income was real piddly, it sounds like there should have been returns filed over the years.

Returns and tax paid? Who should pay it? The estate or the beneficiaries through a K1? For each year...

Maybe a stupid question, but why did you ask here? Illinois has all that on their website. https://www2.illinois.gov/rev/questionsandanswers/Pages/73.aspx
