If a taxpayer died in 2023 and filed a joint return for that year but received a 1099-DIV in 2024, what form should be filed for him in 2024? His wife filed a 2024 1040.

Some brokerage accounts issued 1099's in the husband's name and SS #. Can that income be included on his wife's 1040?

Were the accounts joint with the wife?

Or solely his?

And the reason 1099s were issued in decedent's name and SSN is because no one transferred the account to the estate/joint owner/beneficiary.

No form should be filed for him.  He's dead. 

Follow the money.  Who cashed the checks?  Or are the funds just sitting there, waiting to be administered?
