I received a form SSA-1099 for 2024 in my name and SS#, with my mother's SS in box 8.
I also have a SSA-1099 for my own SS income.
There was a delay in receiving my mother's benefit (she passed in 2023).
How do I report this income? Is it a lump sum SS payment? Or do I add it to my own benefit for 2024? Or is it non-taxable income?
TIA
