Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I assume that the form is in your name, not in the name of the decedent.  You can enter it as Miscellaneous Income -> Other reportable income.  This will place it on Schedule 1 line 8z where it belongs as if it had been properly reported on Form 1099-MISC, but allowing you to provide your own description of the income instead of forcing a description that says that it came from a Form 1099-MISC.

 

There is still a chance that the IRS will question this income since it was reported on Form 1099-NEC instead of Form 1099-MISC on which it should have been reported.
