Thank you for clarifying.
Very odd to have his name and your SSN, but I wouldn't worry about it. That seems wrong.
is the amount on the 1099-MISC also including in your husband's W-2?
See this IRS publication. Page 3 "Deceased employee's wages" ... they have a detailed example.
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1099msc.pdf
What confuses me is that it says there should be a 1099-MISC (in your name not his) issued no matter what. But that if it is paid in the year of death, it should also be included in the W-2 and employment taxes withheld. If paid in a year after death, for some reason, there is no employee taxes paid and no W-2.
So if it was also in the W-2 then you want to be very careful that the income isn't double-counted. Not sure how to do that. Perhaps somebody else knows. Of if you find it is double counted as another again.
