I am sorry for your loss. It would seem the IRS made a mistake as this shouldn't be taxable.....however, if they (actually the Insurance Co) "withheld" that from payment, likely because of a missing form or such....then it is actually at the IRS in an account...that when reflected on your return...(both the income as exempt and the credit for the payment withheld), should see your money refunded. But contact the IRS - by phone - and get an exact excplanation. Do not accept that it is taxable.
can the IRS take a deduction on your check without agreement
No its not taxed. When you receive your refund, you will notice that their nothing withheld from your refund of any sort. You definitely do not have to report your refund to the IRS-its your money that you earned.
Once the return has been filed, there is no way to correct the direct deposit information that you provided to the IRS. What will happen is that the IRS will attempt to deposit the funds in the account that you provided, and if it fails they will mail you a check instead. Obviously, this will delay your refund a bit, which I'm sure is not what you wanted to hear.
No. You should only be taxed on income, not on your savings.
ask the IRS

There are limits as to the amounts of money that can be gifted within a year in a taxfree manner. Check with the IRS--amounts change from year to year.

No. It will be held by the IRS and applied to your tax bill. So you won't get a check in the mail or deposited into your account, but you will get a credit towards your back taxes. The same is true if the IRS is currently keeping your refund through the Treasury Offset Program for student loans, child support, etc.
Yes, they are taxable income to the recipient. Whether the bonus is paid with regular income or as a separate check is immaterial. Bonuses are considered regular income by the IRS and taxed same as regular income is. The bonus is included in box 1 of the W2 as gross wages.

Yes. The contributions were not taxed the withdrawals are. And are reported by the adminstrator to the IRS
Only if it is taxed as a proprietorship or partnership... If it is taxed as an S-Corporation, then the IRS does not like to see accumulations of earnings within the company.
No, the IRS will not know when you cash a check under a certain amount of money. If the check is over $10,000, the IRS will find out.
