I received a 1099 C for a cancellation of debt after my mother passed away last year. The document has her SSN on it (not the Estate FEIN). Can I just include it on her return as income instead of filing a separate Estate return? It only recently occurred to me that it is Estate income and not hers and have included in her draft return (but we're at filing day now). The taxes get paid either way, so does it matter if it's on hers or an Estate's return?
