Thanks so much for the link...
I read this Under A. Who Must File Nominee/Middleman Returns
"A spouse is not required to file a nominee return to show amounts owned by the other spouse."
While the nominee would be my deceased spouse, as long as I report the income, no other filing needs to take place???
I'll give the IRS a call to see what they have to say. In the end, I'll take your advice and document to the hilt.
