Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois

Is there an IRS form, for someone who died in 2010, to get a "stepped-up date of death tax basis"?

If so what is that form number? There is none listed on the IRS.gov site.

This is referring to the sale of a $50,000 home, part of a $200,000 estate for an aunt who died in March of 2010?

I believe Form 8939, to be attached to the person's final 1040 return, will be the place to report the assets selected for a step up in basis. However, the form is not available yet.

Keep watching the IRS website for updates.
