Question

1041 Estate Tax rates???Estate received $25000 in a 1099-R from a previous employer.Why does the 1041 say that he owes $7602 balance due? That's almost 30%

Thanks is advance.
I do one of these returns every 2 years. So I am flummoxed why the tax rate is so high. I entered the amount on line 8 of the 1041.
This is not a trust and this income is all that it has received since the man's passing in 2021.
The 1099-R is in the name of the estate and not him personally.  Even has the correct EIN.

1041 taxes are high, did the money get distributed to the beneficiary?

No.  The money is still in the Estate's bank account

yea, that sucks. If it had been distributed, the beneficiaries would be paying the tax no it at their own rate which is lower than the trust/estate rates.
