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.

Itemized deductions
Items, such as interest, state and local income and sales taxes, charitable contributions, and medical deductions, claimed on Schedule A of Form 1040. Itemized deductions are subtracted from adjusted gross income to arrive at taxable income. The amount of itemized deductions is also subject to a reduction when adjusted gross income exceeds certain limits.
