How do I report interest for savings bonds for a deceased mother?

I cashed my deceased mother's savings bonds in December 2016. She had passed away earlier in 2016. She had not previously reported any interest accrued. Can I report the interest accrued on them to the date of her death on her personal return and then the interest from the date of her death to redemption date, on my return? If If use Turbotax Deluxe for both returns, where do I note the interest on each return and how do I reflect the 1099 Int that I received from the bank?
