  1. When Margarita’s great aunt Consuelo died, the received money of $100,000 is recorded in form 1040 Schedule 1 as other incomes (line 8) because neither Jorge nor Margarita paid any of the premiums.
  2. The collection of antique fans is valued at the FMV as at the death, and hence the gain is 800 (10,800 – 10,000). It is a short-term gain in Schedule D line 1a.
