Briefly....The executor of my uncles's will says he must
wait for a letter from the IRS stating (release) that all
taxes have been paid before he can settle the estate.
According to the executor (an attorney), all taxes have been
filed. The only thing holding up the settlement is this
"letter".

About what is the average time between the final release and
the inital filing of the estate to the IRS?

Is there any way to contact the IRS to see what the current
status of the estate is?
