Wife died at end of 2020. In 2021 employer remitted funds to Wife and issued a 1099-MISC. Box three is titled "Beneficiary/Estate payments, etc." but the recipient is Wife and the listed recipient SSN is Wife's. Therefore, I thought to include it on Husband's return with wife as deceased. But Lacerte tells me that Wife's date of death must be 2021 or 2022. Do I put this on a return for the estate?
That will help determine whether it goes on surviving spouse's 1040 or on an estate return 1041 for the deceased.
The more I know, the more I don't know.
