It will depend on whether she was listed in the debt documents. In most cases the estate will be responsible and if there are not enough assets, the debt goes unpaid.
it means that you are the person's dependent.
This is a very interesting question. If someone dies and owes money to the IRS, the Executor (the person who takes responsibility for the deceased person's estate) is then responsible for settling the person's debts (using the deceased person's estate, not their own money or assets). The Executor is responsible for collecting and arranging for payment of debts of the estate and approving or disapproving creditors' claims. The money in the estate must be used to pay off the person's debt. If, however, the deceased person does not have any money in the esate to be able to pay off the tax liability, the debt DOES NOT transfer to the Executor UNLESS there was a joint liability with the deceased (if the Executor is the widow or widower of the deceased, and the two had filed joint returns, the liability will be assessed to the Executor). Otherwise, the Executor will need to contact the IRS, provide a death certificate and evidence that the estate is unable to pay off the liability. The debt should then be canceled once and for all. For information on claiming a refund for a deceased person, you'll need to file a Form 1310.

WHAT IF and you WERE NOT their QUALIFYING DEPENDENT. Then you will have to file a complete and correct PAPER 1040 federal income tax return and mail it to the correct IRS mailing address. Then the IRS will see if it can determine which 1040 income tax return they will accept as being correct.
If your child lived with you but you did not claim it as a dependent you can still file head of household. You have to list the child's name and social security number on your return.
Yes, you must file a tax return, even if someone else claims you as a dependent, if you had earned income or interest. Most taxpayers who are claimed as dependents on someone else's return use form 1040EZ, especially if they claim the standard deduction and do not need to itemize deductions.

They are not personally responsible for the debt or taxes. The estate has to pay off these claims. If the estate cannot, they distribute as best they can. If the court approves the distribution, the debts are ended.

No, you are not PERSONALLY liable for your mother's debts. Debts of the deceased are paid from the estate, so as the Trustee for that estate, you would have to see that the debts are paid from the estate. Creditors must file a claim against the estate to be paid, and state laws dictate the time limit for filing such claims.

The executor is responsible for collecting all debts owed to the estate. If the deceased did not write such intentions down it must be assumed that the debt is still owed. If the Executor is the one making false claims, other benificiaries may want to consult with a lawyer, especially if the estate is substantial.

Wrongful death claims may be filed by the remaining representatives of the deceased. Anyone who is a representative of the deceased can file a wrongful death claim by contacting an attorney.
