If they are going to get paid for their services, yes. And if they are inheriting anything from the estate they will have to provide it.
No, they should not be required to provide their SSN. Estate holdings should be liquidated using the Estate's tax number. If there isn't one, then the executor is slipping up. Worst case would be to use the SSN of the deceased. Transactions have to be associated with a tax number. * The executor/executrix/administrator of the estate (whatever the title) is required to supply his or her SSN as well as that of the deceased or the TID when making a claim for the deceased estate with an insurance company and other such matters.
No, the fees for being an executor of an estate are not subject to Social Security tax. Executor fees are considered self-employment income, which may be subject to income tax, but they do not fall under the category of wages that are subject to Social Security taxes. Executors should report these fees on their tax returns, but they will not incur Social Security tax liabilities on them.
Executor fees are generally considered taxable income, but they are not subject to Social Security taxes. Since executor fees are reported as self-employment income, they are subject to income tax but not to Social Security and Medicare taxes. However, it's important for executors to consult with a tax professional to understand their specific tax obligations.
Yes!!!
If the decedent was not required to file a return then the executor is not really required to file that return. As an executor, I would suggest that you do file a tax return just so that you cannot be questioned by heirs latter for not doing so. It would not be very expensive to file the return, and it could save you lots of problems down the road.
It is illegal to obtain a deceased person's Social Security number without proper authorization. You can request this information through the Social Security Administration or by contacting the deceased person's estate executor or legal representative.

Reveal nothing to a total stranger if possible. Especially your social security number, address and date of birth.
Social security premiums may influence staffing because certain jobs are not required to pay social security. If one is an independent contractor and works from home, they will pay the IRS money, but not social security.
