I received fees for being an executor of my relative’s estate. Are these fees taxable?
Yes. Executor’s fees are taxable income. But if a taxpayer is not a professional executor, the fees are reported as miscellaneous income (not business income) and are not subject to self-employment tax.

A revenue ruling is the Commissioner’s “official interpretation of the interpretation of the law” and generally is binding on revenue agents and other IRS officials. Taxpayers generally may rely on published revenue rulings in determining the tax treatment of their own transactions that arise out of similar facts and circumstances.
