A man stops working in 2005. Files for Social Security disability. He dies in 2006, before his claim is paid. The lump sum benefits are paid to his daughter. The SSA 1099 shows father's name in Box 1 and Box 2 (ssn) is blank. Does this income properly belong on the father's 2006 return or must it be claimed by the daughter? Thanks for your thoughts
