Do I have to file anything with the IRS even if there is no money? Received a 1099C for credit card for my dad who passed away in 2015. Final return was done for 2015.

There has not been any income to report since his death in 2015.

    If he had an estate established and it was still active, then the estate would be responsible for paying the tax on the income. In the absence of an estate, then you have nothing to report.

    Yes there was an estate set up but there is no money in the estate.  He passed in 2015 and just received this 1099-c for 2018.
