Good day TaxQuestions 60,
I am sorry you have experienced the loss of your mother.
POD means Payable On Death. The account will pass to you upon the death of the owner; in this case your mother. The principal of the account is now subject to income tax. You would only be responsible for tax on interest earned after your mother's date of death.
