| Hello - I am completing a final 1040 for my deceased Grandmother. Although we have set up a estate tax id, it is not likely we will have to do a return with it, as the estate earnings will be under $600. The 1040 is just for income before she passed. For purposes of form 56 that will be attached to the 1040, do I need to do two forms, one for Grandma and one for the Estate, or can I just do one for Grandma? If just Grandma, do I even need to put in the estate tax id as the identifying number, or should I just enter in her SSN as the identifying number? thanks!

I think it is appropriate to have one Form 56, to make clear that the person signing the form 1040 has authority, and what the authorizing document is.
