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.

What does it mean when someone claims you for taxes?

it means that you are the person's dependent.


If someone owes taxes a dies what happen next?

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.

Should you file a US tax return if you are still claimed as a dependent on your parent's US tax 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.

You are the successor trustee of your deceased mother's estate in California Are you responsible for her credit card debt?

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.
