help! my client died 12/31/2020, Final 1040 filed for 2020. Working the 1041 for the Estate now for 2021. In 2021 a 1099-R received under deceased SS# for a 401K loan defaulted in 2021. Do I use a 2021 1040 for the under his SS# or pass thru on the 2021 1041?  401K loan of $17k was forgiven by Fidelity but they issued a 1099R for 2021 for the debt forgiveness.

1099R is under the deceased tax ID number. Not the Estate EIN, would it matter anyway?

In include it on the 1041 on Line 8 as IRD (In Respect of the Decedent) as the description.

No. The deceased didn't receive it because they were dead.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
