Best Answer

The person who is designated as the Administrator or Executor of his estate is the one who has the right to file this return and to negotiate any refund check if one is due. The return must be filed and the type of return is a Decedents Return. Only the person authorized in the will and by the local Probate or Magistrate Court is able to take care of these matters.

If a taxpayer died before filing a return for 2012, the taxpayer's spouse or personal representative may have to file and sign a return for that taxpayer. A personal representative can be an executor, administrator, or anyone who is in charge of the deceased taxpayer's property. If the deceased taxpayer did not have to file a return but had tax withheld, a return must be filed to get a refund. The person who files the return must enter Deceased, the deceased taxpayer's name, and the date of death across the top of the return. If this information is not provided, it may delay the processing of the return.
