W-2 for 2023 for my deceased husband

[Norma Torres]

Hi,

My husband passed away last July 2022.  I received a W-2 for 2023 for him.  How shall I file this?  

Also, I received a Form 1099-C for him.  The debt is in his name only.  Di I need to report this?  

Appreviate your advice!

If you are filing an estate tax return for your husband's estate, you would include the W-2 on that return.  If it is income you received, include it on your tax return.  Similarly, if filing an estate tax return you would report it on that.  If no no estate was established and you are not liable for the debt (state laws differ here) then you can ignore it.
