Husband passed w/out a will. Former employer issued 1099-MISC for payroll funds 4 years later. Check made in his name, so I can't cash. Do I include with my return?
Do I include as income with my return even though I have not been able to cash the check yet? The check is not in my name, it was made to the estate of his name with his SS#. I do plan to cash it as soon as I get court approval.

yes you include this income on your tax return.

if you talk to your bank officer and they know you (and maybe even if they don't), they could deposit this check for you.
