Mom had several JTWROS accounts with daughter - money was mom's. All earnings while mom was alive is on mom's 1040.

Death was 6-15-08 Interest of 100.00 posts 6-30-08 Is that 100.00 all on daughter's 1040 as when it was received the account was hers? Or do you prorate - $50 becomes IRD on estate 1041, $50 on daughter's 1040.

all surviving joint owner from date after date of death

$100 - daughter's

(unless a 706 is involved)

No 706 but do have Ohio Estate Tax - knew that I had to calculate "accrued interest" to date of death for estate tax purposes (federal and state) but I was uncertain as to whether I had to use the accrual method for account interest for the 1041.

What about a stock dividend where the record date was prior to DOD but the actual dividend was not received into the joint account until after death? I assume the answer would be the same - it is on the daughter's 1040, not IRD, and therefore not on the 1041. Again - I know that if the person is alive on the record date then that dividend is on the estate tax return. Actually I don't know if it is the ex-div date or the record date but in this case does not matter as the person was still alive on either date. [I got a report from Evaluation Services with all that info.]
