Compare the tax treatment of administration expenses with that of the decedent's debts.
What will be an ideal response?
Administration expenses may be deducted on either the estate tax return or the estate's income tax return or some in each place. The executor should deduct them on the return where they will be the same since the top estate tax rate and income tax rate are the same. If there is no estate tax liability, then administrative expenses should be deducted on the income tax return if at all possible.
