My spouse passed away in 2018 and her estate is closed. I (husband) am the beneficiary of her remaining deferred compensation payments. For this I received a W2 with her SSN addressed to me (not with her name) with the 2020 distributed amount received shown in Box 11 as a nonqualified plan distribution (as it should be) but nothing shown in Box 1 for Wages / Conpensation as would be expected. How do I handle this considering 1) her social security number shown and my name/adderss and 2) no amount shown in Box 1 of the W2. Do I just add this amount to other wages with a note of explanation added to the return and then have to mail in the return?
Thanks for advise in advance.
