Internal Revenue Code taxes estates and trusts as a person. So every year the government publishes income tax rates for estates or trusts separately. As you know, when an individual dies, his investments in various kinds of properties like stocks, bonds, or rental property, or other assets, that he/she owned at the time of his/her death, goes to his/her estate. So, any income generated out of such assets, now owned by an estate of the deceased person, has to be reported in the name of trust or estate and tax at the prescribed rate for estate or trust has to be paid like anyone else.
