My mother passed in April 2022. I received a social security benefit payment of $734.50 Do I claim this? If yes, where in TurboTax?

I am sorry for your loss.

That would be properly includable on your mother's final income tax return for the 2022 tax year.

An SSA-1099 will be issued in your mother's name.  This will be included in her final income tax return.

In which month was the payment received? Was the payment for the month of March?

You have my deepest condolences.

It depends. You must file a final return for a decedent (a person who died) if both the following is true.

• Your spouse died in 2022 or you are the executor, administrator, or legal representative.
• The descendant met a filing requirement at the time of death.
