Person Died. Two rental properties went into a trust. The properties were both sold within 5mos of death. The alternative valuation date was used.

Do you depreciate the properties for the 5 months in the 1041 return?

This is a fiduciary return tax question, and fiduciary returns are a specialized niche of the tax field. That is probably why you got no answer to your post.

If you still need an answer, I recommend you contact a CPA or enrolled agent.
