Thanks again for your response.
But I'm still confused about the 1099 issue.
I've searched everywhere, but I can't seem to find the answer to this question:
If an after-death Social Security payment is issued to the estate (rather than to family member) by an executor submitting Form SSA-1724, is the payment reported on any type of 1099 form?
What concerns me is that if the payment is included on uncle's SSA-1099 and I don't report it on his 1040 return, that will cause a problem with IRS.
But if the payment is NOT included on uncle's SSA-1099, it won't cause a problem to report it only on the estate 1041 return
.
