Client died in 2024.  1099-B shows social security number on 1099-B.  Amounts need to reported on Trust return not individual return.  How do I show on individual return as I can't show a negative amount coming out on the individual return.

Report the pre death ones on the 1040 and the post death ones on the 1041.

No need to do anything else.

I have never seen a matching notice in this year of death situation.

I agree with @sjrcpa , don't hyperventilate about AUR matching.  But IRS does have instructions for a "nominee distribution" on Schedule D items.  See Form 8949, column f, code "N."  And then you're supposed to issue a 1099-B to the estate.  That's just make-work creating unnecessary costs for both the taxpayer and the government.  But some people, when told to jump through hoops, choose to follow orders.
