Thank you for your fast response.
I have looked at IRS Pub 559 and reviewed the page you suggested, page 7. The description in this IRA publication suggested is for what would happen if there was a FINAL RETURN for the decedent to be filed.
In my case, the final return for the decedent (my mother) was already filed in 2023 for tax year 2022 (the year she died).
I now have a 2023 1099-INT that belongs completely to me, though it was issued in her name and SS # that the Treasury department will not change.
So: am I to just file my return and follow the nominee instructions and say I am receiving all of this income from the 1099-INT?
Am I supposed to file another 1040 for my mother for Tax Year 2023 even though she died in 2022 and the final tax return for her was already filed?
