My father passes away in 2020 and we filed in 2021 as deceased. The estate received a 1099-INT, 1099-OID, and 1099-B for 2021 for the sales that were Jan. and Feb. of 2021. I can't file under my father's name because he died in 2020. How do I report this or do I?

If the income was greater than $600 then the estate must file a tax return (Form 1041). It can be first and final. When considering a sale, the sale proceeds, and not the net profit, are considered when you determine filing requirement.

The estate prepares a K-1 and the income is distributed to the beneficiary or beneficiaries so that they can report the income on their returns.
