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.

Deferred compensation
A portion of earnings withheld by an employer or put into a retirement plan for distribution to the employee at a later date. If certain legal requirements are met, the deferred amount is not taxable until actually paid, for example, after retirement.
