Tax refund for a Deceased husband

Glancey — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 02:48:46 GMT

My husband died in 2023. I submitted his tax returns for 2022 and 2023. He was supposed to get a refund of $808. 00 but it took the IRS a year and a half to process it. I received the refund in July 2025. It included interest . I then received a 1099 Int for $58. with his Social Security number on it.

1) Do I report the refund on MY taxes?

2) Do I report the 1099 Int on MY return even though it has his Social #?

Since I imagine that interest is likely his only income for 2025, you can disregard it.

The amount is well below the amount of income that requires a taxpayer to file a tax return.

Just report it on your return.
