My father died at the end of 2013. He had several Certificates of Deposit maturing in 2014 payable on death to me. The bank will not transfer the account to my name. The options are to take the funds out now or at maturity. Since today's rates are lower than the original CDs rates, I would like to wait until maturity. If I do this, will the 1099-INT for 2014 be in my fathers name and Social security number? On what 2014 income tax return would this interest be reported?
