Fwt On 1099r Ird

[Rlmea]

I have FWT reported on a 1099R (Retirement Savings Plan) going to the estate EIN #. This is the final 1041 with 2 beneficiaries. Can the FWT pass through to the beneficiaries via K-1, or does the estate need to receive the refund, (which seems stupid as this is the final return). Which line would this show up on on the K-1? 13?

My software seems to be listing it to be refunded.

Refund on 1041

I had one like that last year and entered the amount as an amount to be refunded. The check went to the executor who was able to cash it.

FWT on 1041

Is it possible to pass through the withholding to each beneficiary's K-1 and allow them to take it is a payment on their individual 1040? If the executor receives it as a refund on the 1041, he just would distribute it to the beneficiaries anyway. Seems like it would save a step, having the same result.
