How Long to Keep Tax Returns After Death of a Loved One? We generally recommend that you keep tax records for seven years after the passing of a loved one. The Internal Revenue Service can audit your loved ones for up to three years after their death. This is called a statute of limitations.
The IRS doesn't need a copy of the death certificate or other proof of death.
In general, file and prepare the final individual income tax return of a deceased person the same way you would if the person were alive. Report all income up to the date of death and claim all eligible credits and deductions.
There is any refund in case of a deceased assessee, the refund can be received by the legal heir just like he/she can sign the Return of Income. So far as encashing the refund cheque is concerned, this can be done in any bank account where the deceased holder was a joint account holder with any other person.
If a refund is due on the individual income tax return of the deceased, claim the refund by submitting Form 1310, Statement of a Person Claiming Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer.
On the final tax return, the surviving spouse or representative should note that the person has died. The IRS doesn't need a copy of the death certificate or other proof of death. Usually, the representative filing the final tax return is named in the person's will or appointed by a court.
Here are the documents required to file an Income Tax Return (ITR) on behalf of a deceased person: Death Certificate of the deceased person. PAN Card of the deceased person. Self-attested PAN card copy of the legal heir. Legal Heir Certificate. Any applicable court order passed in the name of the deceased.
