Yes, it is IRD (income in respect of a decedent).

FOR The 1099 MISC (Royalties for the book he published long time ago) Turbotax does not have any other way BUT TO ENTER IT AS MY INCOME , CANNOT CLICK "SPOUSE".  SHALL I ADD SOME EXPLANATION?

If you received the income (as IRD), then it is your income and it is reported as such.
