OK Gang, How would you handle this? RE: ES payments

[WhiteOleander]

Lady died on 11/06/2006. Executor handling estate paid four $4000.00 ES payments to IRS for the deceased on her SS# for 2007.

There is no income for a 1040 for 2007. All income went to the 1041, then all was distributed to charities. So, no tax for 1041.

Should I just file a 1040 for the deceased for 2007 to get the ES payments refunded? How would I tell the IRS to make the check out? To the Estate with Form 1310?

Wish this guy had called us before he sent all that money to IRS.

yes

the executor files a return for 2007 with date of death clearly marked and seeking
refund.
