How to report 1040-S

How do I report a 1040-S Foreign Income with code 15. My client received this form after her son died and she received her sons Life Insurance and 401K. I have never had a client with this form before and when I called IRS they said they could t help.

1042-S?

Is your client a US citizen?

Nonresident alien?

The more I know, the more I don't know.

Sounds like the mother never turned in the W-9 they requested.  If that is the case and the mother is, indeed, a US citizen, green card holder, or resident alien, you'd report the income as you would normally and give the mother credit for the backup withholding.

In case the mother is resident of a treaty country, however, please come back and provide more details.
