How do I report 1099 interest for a person that is deceased 2017? Amount is $160.00 and I used TurboTax in 2018 to file for her and report as deceased?

Apparently the interest account didn't close until 2018 so a 1099 was generated.

Since you already filed her final tax return for tax year 2017 you do not need to file anything further. The amount of interest falls below the filing requirement for 2018.

In any event, a 2018 personal tax return would not be filed for a 2017 decedent.  It would have to go on Form 1041 instead.
