Sorry, I'm confused. I was reading from Publication 559, and it said the following:
"Income To Include
The decedent's income includible on the final return is generally determined as if the person were still alive except that the tax period is usually shorter because it ends on the date of death. The method of accounting regularly used by the decedent before death also determines the income includible on the final return. "
So, doesn't that mean if my spouse died on the 3rd week of the month and I received the last check on the last day of the month that that income should have been reported separately?
