I need help determining the correct tax year for an estate income tax return. Decedent DOD is 6/12/17. Final 1040 already filed; now need to report 2018 income.

The 2018 income consists of the sale of the decedent's house in March 2018, nothing else. Should this be reported on 1 tax return (which I'm guessing would be late) or 2 tax returns?
If there was no other income I would make it a calendar year. Since there would have been no income in 2017 no return would have been needed to be filed. That way your 2018 return can be the first and final return.
