Father passed in Dec. 2018. SSA deposited his final (December) SS check into his bank account (joint account with me). For some reason, SSA erroneously rescinded the check a few days later (still in December). I filed a claim; it was approved; the amount of that check was then deposited into my own (solo) account but not until this Feb. 2019. Do I compute HIS 2018 taxes using, or not using, the final SS check amount? Next year, when I do my own 2019 taxes, do I compute that final SS check amount as MY own income? TYIA.
