Deceased husband’s W-2s from residuals, where do I put them??

My actor husband passed away 10/2018. I got some W-2’s from his residuals with his SSN, not my SSN. It’s not like I can file a final tax return, because I will continue to get them.

 I figured out where to put all the 1099-Rs (under less common income) with all your help, but what do I do with these?? I suddenly got errors saying the SSN’s don’t match on these W-2’s. I would really appreciate any help!

Should I change the employee W-4 profile for next year over to 1099-Rs??

Also enter the W-2s as Miscellaneous Income using these steps:

  2. In the Less Common Income section , click on the Start/Update box next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C. 
  3. On the Miscellaneous Income screen, click on the Start/Revisit box next to Other reportable income.
  4. On the Any Other Taxable Income? screen, click the Yes box.
  5. Enter the income on the Other Taxable Income screen, along with a description.  Click Continue. 
  6. You will be brought to the Other Miscellaneous Income Summary.  If you have no more miscellaneous income to report, click Done.

 

If there is withholding listed, enter the amounts as Estimated Tax Payments, using these steps:

  1. Click on Federal >  Deductions & Credits. 
  2. In the Estimates and Other Taxes Paid section, click on the Start/Update box next to Estimated Tax Payments. 
  3. On the next screen, Did you pay federal/state/local estimated taxes for 2019? click the Yes box.
  4. Enter your payment(s) on the next screen, How much did you pay in federal [or state or local] estimated taxes? Select the state from the drop-down list and enter the amount paid in the box.
