No it does not sound correct. All income gets distributed on a final return, so there should be nothing upon which to calculate NIIT.

P.S. I could swear I answered this a couple of hours ago.

I agree that DNI carries out all income on a final return.  What is worrying me is that the calculations for portion of 8960 starting at Line 18 make some sense.  The estate had interest, dividends, net rental income, a nonqualified annuity (large dollars), and IRA and a 403(b) (even larger dollars).  All income except for the qualified plans factor into the 8960 calculations.  They make up approximately 30% of all the assets, while the qualified plans are the other 70% of value.  The deduction allocation on those workheets is reducing the charitable deduction (two charities totaling 40% of residue) by about 30% and other deductions by about 29%.  That is what is leaving over $6,000 that is being determined as "undistributed income."  The NIIT on $6,000 is $229.
