Inherited savings bond

I have several questions regarding an inherited savings bond.  My mother passed in July 2019.  She had a savings bond that she had purchased naming my father as POD who passed away in 2002.  She did not report accrued interest on the bond.  I am  the executor of the estate and I cashed out the bond and it went into my mothers estate account.  The estate received the money in 2020.  

1.  How do I report the interest received in 2020?  

2.  Do I need to get a 1099-INT ?

 

Thanks
