1099 INT under deceased taxpayer SSN

[grapegrower]

The deceased passed in 2023. In 2024, the IRS sent a payment (w/ interest) for a missing payment that they finally found from a previous tax year. The 1099-INT for the interest portion of this payment ($300) is under the deceased SSN.

Where should I report this income? Should I submit an amended 2024 trust 1041 return? Should I report it with  my personal return?

You will report it on your personal return.  Whoever has the right to receive the income must report it on their personal return if they received the distribution.  You can add it to the tax return as Miscellaneous income.  See Income in Respect of a Decedent.
