Retirement tax questions

That is not a lump sum and you do not enter that on your tax return since it belongs to the deceased. Whoever administers her estate would be responsible for filing a final tax return for her, if required,  and you would enter the Form SSA-1099 on that return.

 

I am sorry for your loss.
