My mother passed away two days before a large divided was paid, but the ex dividend date was three weeks before she passed. Do I report on her 1040 only what was paid prior to her death and ignore the ex dividend date? Therefore, the dividend would be reported on her 1041 Estate. Or, is what she earned before her death even though not yet paid counted on her 1040 return.
Thank you,
Jcol

Sorry for your loss, She died after the ex-dividend date but before the payment date so the successor (such as the estate) must report this as income
Was the stock held in brokerage account?
If she got a 1099-DIV ( she should have) you can report it on her tax return and be done with it.
