Sorry for your loss.

Please follow the steps below:

Sign into TurboTax.

4. On the screen, "Did you get a 1099-MISC?" answer "Yes."

...he received a 1099 misc from his employer paid to his estate...

The figure on the 1099-MISC represents income in respect of a decedent (IRD) and the recipient of the 1099-MISC is responsible for reporting it to the IRS.

If the estate received the 1099-MISC with its name and tax ID number (EIN), then the estate will have to file a Form 1041 if the amount exceeds the filing threshold.

See https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1041#en_US_2022_publink1000285942

Income in respect of a decedent may be reported in TurboTax CD/Desktop on IRS form 1041. Filing requirements for IRS form 1041 (page 5) are:

Decedent's Estate

The fiduciary (or one of the joint fiduciaries) must file Form 1041 for a domestic estate that has:

1. Gross income for the tax year of $600 or more;

2. A beneficiary who is a nonresident alien; or

3. If you held a qualified investment in a qualified opportunity fund (QOF) at any time during the year, you must file your return with Form 8997 attached.

Income in respect of a decedent may be reported in TurboTax CD/Desktop on IRS form 1041.

Report income in respect of a decedent under Federal Taxes, then Income.
Scroll down to Other income or loss and select Start / Update to the right.
