I live in Maryland and just received a life insurance check due to my dad's passing and will be depositing the check in my bank account soon.

Gifts given to family members, friends or other individuals are not deductible. Gifts received are not taxable to the person who received the gift, and are not entered on a tax return.
If your gift exceeds the yearly limit ($17,000 per individual) imposed by the gift tax rules, then you will need to complete a Form 709 gift tax form and send it to the IRS, although it is very unlikely that you will owe any tax. In 2024 that yearly limit will increase to $18,000.
TurboTax does not support Form 709. It is not an income tax form and would not be included as part of an income tax return.

The information provided by xmasbaby0 is correct. I would advise having a tax professional complete Form 709 for you. It's important to keep it in a safe place for many years to come as proof of your filing it.
